LABVIEW practice Problems

Practice 1
Open Loop Block Diagram and its Response

For the above diagram we can compute its transfer function and generate its open loop response
assuming that the system is equipped with good disturbance rejector. To do that one could follow
the following steps to get a simplified transfer function from 𝑇𝑑 (𝑠) 𝑡𝑜 𝜔𝑑 (𝑠).

Step 1: Define the following transfer functions

1
𝐺1 =
𝐽𝑠+𝑏

𝐺2 = 𝐾𝑚
1
𝐺3 =
𝑅𝑎

𝐺4 = 𝐾𝑏

𝐺5 = -1
Step 2: Write those transfer functions in to a MathScript Node forming a cluster and Unbundllig
the elements of the cluster by their name for the parameters (inputs to the MathScript Node).

Table 1 Parameters of the system

Step 3: Simplifying transfer functions using the concept of cascade(series), parallel, feedback
connections. From the block diagram we can observe that transfer functions 𝐺2 and 𝐺3 their
combination is also in series with 𝐺4 the whole combination is intern unit feed back
form to 𝐺1 then the whole combination is in series with 𝐺5. This is done by using
LABVIEW control & simulation tools.

Step 4: Generating the transfer function and draw unit step response using
appropriate tools. This is done in a file in the same folder named “CH_3_1”.

Practice 2
Closed Loop Block Diagram and its Response

Step1: Defining the parameters as in step 2 of practice 1

Step 2: Find the transfer function by defining the numerator and denominator of the
𝒘(𝒔) −𝟏
transfer function = properly.
𝑹(𝒔) 𝑱𝒔+(𝒃+𝐾𝑚 /𝑅𝑎 )∗(𝐾𝑡 ∗𝐾𝑎 +𝐾𝑏 )

Step 3: Follow the same procedure as in practice 1 we can plot its transfer function
in a text form and generate step response.
