P1: Type, static constants and errors
For the unity feedback system with open loop TF 𝐺 𝑠 given below
calculate the steady-state error with inputs:25𝑢 𝑡 , 37𝑡𝑢 𝑡 , 47𝑡 2 𝑢(𝑡)
450(𝑠 + 8)(𝑠 + 12)(𝑠 + 15)
𝐺 𝑠 =
𝑠 𝑠 + 38 (𝑠 2 + 2𝑠 + 28)
T(s) has left half plane poles -> stable (verify as HW)
Thus: 𝐾𝑝 → ∞ 𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑝 → 0
It is a Type-1 system
𝐾𝑎 = 0 𝑒𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑙𝑎 → ∞
450 ∙ 8 ∙ 12 ∙ 15 37
𝐾𝑣 = = 609.02 𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑚𝑝 =
38 ∙ 28 609.02
Important to
note this gain

P2: Type, static constants and errors
For the system shown in
Figure, what steady-state
error can be expected for the
following test inputs:
10𝑢 𝑡 , 10𝑡𝑢 𝑡 , 10𝑡 2 𝑢(𝑡)
After Block Dia Reduction

P3: Type, static constants and errors
For a unity feedback system with forward transfer function
𝐾 Calculate 𝐾 such that steady state error is
𝐺 𝑠 =
𝑠(𝑠 + 1)(𝑠 + 2) 0.2 units
Type-1 System Thus talking about ramp response
1 𝐾 1
⇒ 𝐾𝑣 = ⇒ = ⇒ 𝐾 = 10

𝑇 𝑠 = Poles:−3.3, +0.15 ± 𝑗1.73
𝑠 3 + 3𝑠 2 + 2𝑠 + 10
Unstable, thus it is not allowed!
