21. Attempt all parts of this question. (a) Control systems engineering and technology have hugely influenced our everyday lives. Write a concise narrative on the future trends and scopes of control systems engineering and technology including potential challenges. [6 marks] The transfer functions of the control system shown in Figure Q1a are as follows: K Gc(S) = (s + 3)2 (s + 5) Gp(s) = (s + 1)(8 + 4) and H(S) = 1. R(S) r(t) + E(S) e(t) Gc(s) Go(s) C(s) c(t) H(s) Figure Q1a (b) Sketch the root-locus diagram, including any asymptotes. Indicate the point of instability and the positions of small positive values of K. Comment on the nature of system damping for 0 <K 50. [8 marks]
