Functional Flow Block Diagram Puns

have to analyze stability, frequency response, and mathematical model of control systems.

I am currently reading Control Systems by Bishop to review my control theory course from undergrad (I just graduated this past semester). However, I was intoduced to signal-flow graphs. It was completely new to me since it was not discussed when I took my controls subject. But from what I understand, it is kind of similar with block diagrams.

My question is when is it better to use the signal-flow graphs to represent a system (and vice versa)? I find the the block diagrams more intuitive as of now. Are there concepts than can be explained more by using the signal-flow graphs?

Hello, not asking for homework help just trying to find some resources on coming up with a block diagram given a transfer function.

I checked 4 different textbooks and they only have methods and shortcuts for going from block diagram to transfer function, block diagram reduction techniques, etc., but nothing for going in the opposite direction. If anyone know where I might find something like this or a good textbook it would be appreciated.

I also tried to Google it up but I only get results for the other way around (block diagram to transfer function).

I created a Canadian cash flow diagram as a guideline for allocating your financial resources appropriately. There is a similar one for US persons, which I based my Canadian version off of.

Hope this can help even one person.

I understand that some may prioritize slightly differently than I have. I will take feedback into consideration with an open mind.

This system is designed to perform a baseline ore processing chain through:

1. Universal Macerator
2. Ore Washing Plant
3. Thermal Centrifuge
4. Universal Macerator
5. Combine partial byproducts into full dusts
6. Output final products / bypass any materials that are not designated for processing

Additional system functionality:

1. Filter and Macerate selected non-ore materials
2. Filter and process specific ores through mercury & sodium persulfate chemical baths to boost select byproduct production
3. Filter and process gemstone ores through sifting to maximize solid gem material output
4. Multistep process and extract Endstone, Moon Dirt, and Moon Rock to retrieve rare elements
5. Filter and refine Cinnabar Dust, Cobaltite Dust, Dark Ashes, Galena Dust, Garnet Sand, Marble Dust, Netherrack Dust, Pyrite Dust, Realgar Dust, Red Garnet Dust, Redstone Dust, Sphalerite Dust, Tetrahedrite Dust, Vanadium Magnetite Dust, and Yellow Garnet, into their base components
6. Filter and macerate chipped gemstones into dust

I’m curious if any of you more experienced programmers ever create schematics, diagrams, flow charts, etc. which illustrate the programs you are designing. I’m new to C#, coming from a few years of VBA scripting for Excel and Visio, and the thought occurred to me recently that Visio would be good to plan out a program. I was thinking there could be pages with varying levels of detail, like having one page that shows a very rough overall diagram illustrating the most basic elements, then a more detailed page showing more info, connections between classes, methods, and parameters, and then a final page that has blocks with the actual code pasted into it showing more details and connections.

I get kind of scatter brained sometimes and easily distracted, (borderline ADD) and sometimes I get to the point where I feel overloaded when I’m looking an numerous lines of code, even if they’re smaller classes and spread out on multiple files, I lose track easily and find myself tracing things out a lot. I was thinking that literally mapping it out would help, and I was wondering if any of you actually do this, and if so, do you have any recommendations, standards, examples you could share, I would greatly appreciate it.

Hey everyone

So Im currently modifying a vintage Yamaha keyboard. I discovered that by connecting 2 points on the circuitboard, I can trigger a persistent click, kind of like a metronome, while the drum machine is on.

I wired this to a simple toggle switch to turn it on and off. Flipping it up and down rapidly works as a sort of “drum fill” function, but its not an ideal solution. The force of flipping the switch on and off is causing wear and tear. So what id like to do is wire a momentary push button in to use instead.

So id still like the toggle switch to turn the clicks on and off. But id also like to have a momentary button that, when held, cues the clicks while the toggle is off, and then mute the clicks while the toggle is on. So as far as I can tell, I need a 3 pin, SPDT momentary push button, as well as a standard ON/ON toggle switch. Heres the diagram I came up with. Ignore the “40k pot” on the right.

Can anyone tell me if this looks functional? I think itll work but im not sure. Im also a bit worried I misunderstood how the SPDT momentrary button works, as ive only used the standard 2 pin “push to make” types in the past.

These are the ones I ordered for this purpose. Am I correct that holding the button will change the connection from NO -> COM to NC -> COM?

Anyway, sorry for the long post, and thanks in advance for any replies. Also my apologies for the terrible drawing lol, i did it on my phone

I was going through some questions and ended up on this Block Diagram Transfer function: https://gyazo.com/43ca03ef12790167e2cf856a0cb367f7

This was a totally new thing for me since I had actually never done something like this before, with the purpose being to get an output that represents the system from it. So I watched some Youtube videos lecturing this and tried to learn from it; I applied that knowledge onto this and got the following:

Y(s) = [U(s) - 2H2(s) + H1(s)] * (G2(s)) * (G1(s))

From what I learned online I was supposed to get something like Y(s)/U(s) = Random Answer but with where this one was going I knew that I was not going to get the answer from it.

Therefore, I would really appreciate it if anyone could explain to me how I go about figuring out questions like these and answering something like this. Moreover the tools I would need to study this so that I would not have a difficulty in attempting questions like these in the future.

Thank you very much in advance

Looking for simple and memorable explanation. thanks!

Hi all, I'm designing a user flow diagram (in this case "task flow") and I having trouble drawing out for a display that will show several links that help you jump or scroll down the current page. At "Affiliated Technologies", I will display a dictionary like view and you will have the alphabets as links. e.g. when you click on "a" you go to "a" heading and its content (I provided in the second image). What symbol or what shape do you draw for this kind of situation?

Note: I'm very new to creating them. Any resource or guides on them would be fantastic too.

New to powerBi. Working as a scrum master Has anyone tried or knows if I can create cumulative flow diagrams in powerBi. Purpose is to track the flow of work. Been doing it in excel so far.

I decided to finally document the PA setup at the club I work in, so I spent the better part of 4 hours last night trying to make a nice looking block diagram in MS Word. Needless to say, Word is not CAD software and I never got everything looking right.

I have some experience with CAD software, specifically Vectorworks, and I think something like that would be better tool for what I'm trying to do, but Vectorworks itself would be overkill, no?

The main thing I want besides a more tailor made drawing UI is the ability to tag symbols with attributes, then have those attributes automatically populate spreadsheets.

For the first problem, I need to draw the diagram of the cascade of H1(s) and H2(s), where H1 = 1/(s+2) and H2 = 1/(s+1). I understand (kinda) that I need to normalize the fraction, which results in H1 = (1/s) / (1 + (2/s)) and H2 = (1/s) / (1 + (1/s)). However, I'm not sure where to go from there.

Likewise, I also need to make a parallel block diagram for H1 = -1 / (s+2) and H2 = 1 / (s+1).
Lastly, I need to make another direct form ii block diagram for H(s) = 1 / (s^(2) + 3s + 2).

Thanks!
