Question

A feedback control system has the following characteristics:

system type: 0

position error constant: 34 dB

gain crossover frequency: 25 Hz

phase crossover frequency: 85 Hz

phase margin: 60 degrees

gain margin: 23 dB

It is desired to improve the steady-state accuracy by a factor of 5. How would you recommend doing this? Explain why you chose that answer.

(a) Increase the gain by 6 dB making error constant 40 dB.

(b) Use PI control to make the system type 2 and keep the gain margin greater than 23 dB.

(c) Use PD control to keep the system type 0 and the gain margin 23 dB.

(d) Use lead control to improve phase margin and decrease daming which will improve error.

(e) None of the above.

Explanation / Answer

The above specification can be achived by option (b)

We can use PI control to make the syatem type 2 and keep the gain margin greater than 23 dB due to following reasons

1. Since PI controller is used to remove the steady state error occurs from P controller and in terms of speed and stability the system has negative impact

2. by using integral controller the order of the closed loop system can be increased
