Module 5 : Design of Sampled Data Control Systems

Lecture 2 : Controller types

Pole zero map of the uncompensated system is shown in Figure 3. Sum of angle contributions at the desired pole is $ A =\theta_1-\theta_2-\theta_3$, where $ \theta_1$ is the angle by the zero, $ -0.93$, and $ \theta_2$ and $ \theta_3$ are the angles contributed by the two poles, 0.82 and 1 respectively.

From the pole zero map as shown in Figure 3, the angles can be calculated as $ \theta_1=16.5^{o}$, $ \theta_2=124.9^{o}$ and $ \theta_3=138.1^{o}$.

Net angle contribution is $ A=16.5^{o}-124.9^o-138.1^{o}-109.8^{0}=-247.5^{0}$. But from angle criterion a point will lie on root locus if the total angle contribution at that point is $ \pm 180^o$. Angle deficiency is $ -247.5^{o}+180^{o}=67.5^{o} $

Controller pulse transfer function must provide an angle of 66.5°. Thus we need a Lead Compensator. Let us consider the following compensator.

$\displaystyle G_{D}(z)=K\frac{z+a}{z+b}$


If we place controller zero at z = 0.82 to cancel the pole there, we can avoid some of the calculations involved in the design. Then the controller pole should provide an angle of $ 124.9^{o}-67.5^{o}=57.4^{o}$.

Once we know the required angle contribution of the controller pole, we can easily calculate the pole location as follows.

The pole location is already assumed at $ z=-b$. Since the required angle is greater than $ \tan^{-1}(0.43/0.52)=39.6^o$ we can easily say that the pole must lie on the right half of the unit circle. Thus b should be negative. To satisfy angle criterion,



The controller is then written as $ G_D(z)=K\dfrac{z-0.82}{z-0.244}$. The root locus of the compensated system (with controller) is shown in Figure 4.
