Block diagrams can represent both linear and nonlinear control systems using graphical elements like plants, controllers, actuators, and sensors interconnected with lines. The block diagram shows the system components and their connections but not mathematical details. If the relationships between elements are known, the block diagram can be used to analytically or computationally solve the system. Block diagrams are reduced by multiplying blocks in series and adding blocks in parallel, and removing minor feedback loops, while avoiding shifting pick-up points in a way that violates the critical rules.

Block –Diagram Introduction
Typical block elements that appear in the block diagram representation of
most control systems include plant, controller, actuator, and sensor. Significance of block Diagram • The block diagram in this case simply shows how the system components are interconnected, and no mathematical details are given. • If the mathematical and functional relationships of all the system elements are known. • The block diagram can be used as a tool for the analytic or computer solution of the system. • In general, block diagrams can be used to model linear as well as nonlinear systems. For example, the input-output relations of the dc-motor control system may be represented by the block diagram shown in Fig Blocks connected in series get Multiplied Blocks connected in parallel get added Block –Diagram Reduction Rules for summing Points Ahead and behind Block –Diagram Reduction Rules for (Pick up/branch /takeoff) points Ahead and behind Removing the Minor Feedback Loop Avoid such shifting • For parallel combination the direction of signals through the block must be same. Critical Rule 1 Critical Rule 2 How to Solve Block Diagrams • Step 1: Reduce blocks connected in series and then parallel first. • Step2 Reduce the minor feedback loop. • Step 3 : Until and unless there is no requirement of the problem try to shift take off points towards right and summing points towards left and avoid the critical rules. • Step 4: Repeat steps 1 to 3 until simple transfer function form is attained
