    Why Does Integral Control Affect Transient Response But Not Root Locus Plot?

    I have a zero at the origin of my root locus plot. I understand that I need integral control to have zero steady-state error. I have 2 questions about this. 1. When I add integral control like this, Kp (1/(Ti*s)) where Ti is from Z-N first method and Kp=1, I get a pole at the origin. I...

    Control Theoryplease advise if cont theory should be in system design threads

    Thank you, and I may end up using this approach. In the mean time can anyone explain why I get a linear function when the expected result is an "s-shaped" curve? I little more background. My open loop system is a controller * Plant with a step input and unity feedback. My advisor suggested I...

    Control Theoryplease advise if cont theory should be in system design threads

    These are a bit different. The first posted never went through so I rewrote it, but then I wrote a different post. I just hope someone can help.

    Control Theoryplease advise if cont theory should be in system design threads

    Control Theory and PID tuning I've been working to find a PID controller for the following TF As TF = -------------------------- B1s^3 + B2s^2 + B3s + B The "s" term in the numerator is giving a great deal of grief. I've been...

    Control Theoryplease advise if cont theory should be in system design threads

    not sure why my earlier post never showed, but I'll try again. I'm doing some work to control a pump that's the input to a pneumatic system. I developed a transfer function that defines the plant as the output pressure divided by the input pressure. I also developed a controller: PID&I...
