Block Diagrams in Control Systems | Control Systems 1.4 | CircuitBread Electronics Tutorials

Block diagrams in control systems simplify the way that we approach systems and are perhaps the epitome of visualizing how a system interacts. Despite the graphical nature of block diagrams, they have a mathematical foundation and can be used as a basis for modeling a system's behavior. We both discuss the different parts of the block diagram and how to reduce a block diagram. Or move blocks around while keeping the system itself equivalent. It's some pretty cool stuff.

This video tutorial was based on the, as always, amazing written tutorial Kushal created and we highly recommend you go check it out to learn the rest of the reduction techniques and get to more in-depth information. His awesome tutorial is found here:

Nice tutorial and great explanation. Subscribed

The feedback shouldn't be H(s)*G(s) but it should be whatever the last output is, let's say C(s), multiplied by H(s) so it would be C(s)*H(s). That way the simplification G(s) / (1 + G(s)H(s)) will make more sense where C(s) = (R(s) - C(s)*G(s))*G(s) which will give us C(s) = R(s)*G(s) / (1 + G(s)*H(s)).

why we need to study control system apply at where ???

I'm learning about these in Digital Signal Processing but I'm not fund of them anyway
