What is block diagram reduction?

Block Diagram Reduction Rules. Follow these rules for simplifying (reducing) the block diagram, which is having many blocks, summing points and take-off points. Rule 1 − Check for the blocks connected in series and simplify. Rule 2 − Check for the blocks connected in parallel and simplify.

Why is block diagram reduction important?

It is a nice way to visualize the interrelationships of various components. They will be crucial in helping us identify manipulated and controlled variables and input(s) and output(s) of a system.

What are the rules of reduction?

A "reduction rule" expresses a semantic equivalence between two expressions. We will describe computation as a rewriting process where an expression is transformed by the application of primitive "computation rules". This is an application of a model called operational semantics.

What is block diagram method?

A block diagram is a diagram of a system in which the principal parts or functions are represented by blocks connected by lines that show the relationships of the blocks. They are heavily used in engineering in hardware design, electronic design, software design, and process flow diagrams.
