Lecture 27 - Controller Transfer Functions and Block Diagrams

Lecture 27 demonstrates the application of Transfer Functions for process controllers. A Transfer Function relates an input to output response of a system. In this case the input is the Error (SP-PV) and the response is the Controller Output (CO).

• Closed Loop Transfer Function Lecture Notes

Lecture 27 also pulls together elements from the course to construct an overall block diagram of a process. In this lecture, we use these elements to derive individual transfer functions and piece them together into an overall signal flow of the process.

Relate each problem in the context of the overall course objectives.
