Techteach - No Simview Transferfunction Index

This document describes a simulator for transfer functions. It explains that the simulator models a second order transfer function with adjustable numerator and denominator coefficients. The aims are to understand how poles and zeros relate to the time response. The document provides tasks to test properties like stability for different pole and zero placements. Users are instructed to run the simulator to answer questions about properties like instability for poles in the right half-plane or inverse response for a zero in the right half-plane.

Description of the simulated system


The following general second order transfer function model is simulated:
y(s)/u(s) = H(s) = (b1s + b0)/(s2 + a1s + a0)
H(s) can have both poles and zeros. You can determine the coefficients of the numerator and the
denominator polynomial.

Aims
The aims of this simulator is to develop the understanding of the relation between poles and zeros
and the time response of transfer function models.

Motivation
Transfer function models are frequently used in signal processing (to represent signal filters) and
control theory (to represent process models, controllers, and sensors).

Tasks
It is assumed that you answer the following questions by running the simulator.
1. Is it confirmed that the system is unstable if the system has at least one pole in the right half
plane? (You may set b1 = 0; b0 = 1; a1 = -0.2; a0 = 1;)
2. Is it confirmed that the system is on the stability limit if the system have poles on the
imaginary axis (and no poles in the right half plane)? (You may set b1 = 0; b0 = 1; a1 = 0; a0
= 1;)
3. Find (by calculation) the static transfer function Hs of the system. Assume that the input u is
a step of amplitude U. Calculate the corresponding static response, ys. Is the resultat
confirmed in a simulation? (You may set b1 = 0; b0 = 1; a1 = 1; a0 = 1;)
4. Is it confirmed that a zero in the right half plane causes an inverse response (assuming a step
in the setpoint)? (You may set b1 = -2; b0 = 1; a1 = 1; a0 = 1;)
