Examples

PT1 / Low-pass filter step response

Code: Creating a transfer function and plotting its response
 T1 = 0.4;              # time constant
 P = tf([1], [T1 1]);   # create transfer function model
 step(P, 2)             # plot step response

 #add some common markers like the tangent line at the origin, which crosses lim(n->inf) f(t) at t=T1
 hold on
 plot ([0 T1], [0 1], "g")
 plot ([T1 T1], [0 1], "k")
 plot ([0 T1], [1-1/e 1-1/e], "m")
 hold off

 

Bode Diagram with TikZ/PGFplots

We use the same system as before but we draw now with bode(P) a bode diagram. The output is written to a .csv file.

Code: Creating a transfer function and calculating its bode diagram
T1 = 0.4;              # time constant
P = tf([1], [T1 1]);

[mag, pha, w] = bode(P);

csvwrite("dat/bode_p.csv", [w', 20*log10(mag), pha]);

We can then invoke LaTeX with the following .tex file

Code: Creating a bode diagram with pgfplots
\documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
\usepackage{pgfplotstable}
\usepackage{siunitx}
\usetikzlibrary{pgfplots.groupplots}

\begin{document}
\pgfplotstableread[col sep=comma]{\detokenize{/path/to/csv/file/dat/bode_p.csv}}\datatable
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{groupplot}[
  group style={rows=2}, 
  width=0.8\textwidth,
  height=0.4\textwidth, 
  xmajorgrids, 
  ymajorgrids, 
  enlarge x limits=false,
  xmode=log,
] 
  \nextgroupplot[
    title={Bode Diagram of $P$},
    ylabel={Magnitude / \si{\decibel}},
  ]
  \addplot[blue,line width=1pt] table[x index=0,y index=1]{\datatable}; 
  \nextgroupplot[
    xlabel={Frequency / \si{\radian\per\second}},
    ylabel={Phase / \si{\degree}},
  ] 
  \addplot[red,line width=1pt] table[x index=0,y index=2]{\datatable};
\end{groupplot}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

to generate a beautiful bode diagram

 

It can be seen that a first order low-pass filter has   magnitude at  .

Inverted Pendulum

Model

A nonlinear model of the inverted pendulum can be derived by

 

where the variables are defined as

Name Definition
  Mass of the cart
  Mass of the pendulum
  Translational damping coefficient
  Length of the pendulum
  Inertia of the pendulum
  Rotational damping coefficient
 
Schematic drawing of the inverted pendulum.

Linearization around the point   and substitution of   (from here on in the analysis,   will be written as  , but it should be noted that   now measures from a new reference) leads to

 

This can be expressed in the frequency domain like

 

Transfer functions

By dividing the state variables by the input one obtains the transfer functions

 

with

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

This can be expressed in Octave

Code: Creating the transfer functions for the inverted pendulum
m = 0.15;
l = 0.314;
M = 1.3;
I = 0;
g = 9.80665;
b = 20;
c = 20;

G1 = tf([m*l^2+I b -m*g*l],
        [(M+m)*(m*l^2+I)-m^2*l^2 (M+m)*b+(m*l^2+I)*c -(M+m)*m*g*l+b*c -m*g*l*c 0]);
G2 = tf([-m*l],
        [(M+m)*(m*l^2+I)-m^2*l^2 (M+m)*b+(m*l^2+I)*c -(M+m)*m*g*l+b*c -m*g*l*c]);

and by invoking the bode command

Code: Creating Bode plots for the inverted pendulum
bode(G1);
bode(G2);

one obtains the bode diagrams of the two transfer functions.

  •  
    Bode diagram of the cart movement transfer function.
  •  
    Bode diagram of the pendulums rotation transfer function.
