How to Get Started with Control Systems in MATLAB

Designing a controller can be tricky if you don’t know where to start. This video will show how to design a controller for a system using the Control System Designer app in MATLAB®. Using a spring mass damper, we show the process of deriving a transfer function and inputting it into MATLAB. You will also learn how to use a bode, root locus, and step response plots to interactively tune a compensator. While this video only applies to single input single out (SISO) systems you can apply some of these techniques for other systems as well.
