ENGR202 (old spec) Control 4.4 Proportional Action (slides 4-14) and 4.5 Integral Action (slides 4-8)

The plant is the generalised second order system with unity steady state gain, X=ωn2s2+2ζωns+ωn2UX = \frac{\omega_n^2}{s^2 + 2\zeta\omega_n s + \omega_n^2}U in a unity negative feedback loop with set point DD, error E=D−XE = D - X and controller U=C(s)EU = C(s)E.

Formulas you may need
  • Series rule and negative feedback rule G11+G1G2\dfrac{G_1}{1 + G_1G_2} (learn this)
  • Final Value Theorem lim⁡t→∞x(t)=lim⁡s→0sX(s)\lim_{t\to\infty}x(t) = \lim_{s\to 0}sX(s) (learn this)
  1. (a)
    Proportional action C(s)=kpC(s) = k_p. Find the closed-loop Transfer Function, the closed-loop characteristic equation, and the steady state error for a unit step in DD. Evaluate the error for kp=0.5k_p = 0.5 and kp=2k_p = 2.
  2. (b)
    Integral action C(s)=kI/sC(s) = k_I/s. Find the closed-loop Transfer Function, characteristic equation and steady state value for a unit step. What is the price paid?
