Example 2:
Example of feedback control system without using controls
package element
This example shows how you can simply model a closed-loop feedback control
system using standard modeling functionality, such as measures. The model does not
require any controls specific entities such as state variables or transfer functions. The
model introduces how ADAMS can be useful in understanding the effects that a
control system will have on your physical system.
This particular model simulates a pointer that is attempting to follow
the movement of a translating block. This task could easily be
accomplished imposing a motion on the pointer that matches the
motion of the block. However, many physical systems use a control
system to act as an imposed motion. Control systems are not
perfect and do induce error when compared to the ideal motion of
the system.
