To perform a block diagram reduction

usingMATLAB
Its not convenient to derive a complex transfer function for a complex control system, therefore, the
transfer function of each element of a control system is represented by a block diagram and the concerned
system mentioned in the block represents the transfer function of the element. This symbolic
representation in short form gives a pictorial representation relating the output and the input of a control
system based on cause and eect approach.

Simple Block Diagram

Block diagram shown above. Here G1(s) and G2(s) represents the transfer function of the individual
elements of a control system. The system given is a feedback system or can also be called a closed loop
system. The output signal C(s) is fed back to be compared with the input R(s) , the dierence E(s)=[R(s) C(S)]
is actuating signal or error signal.

Problem: To reduce the given block diagram using sumblk and Ind impulse,step and ramp response.
