Carleton University Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Feedback Control Systems MAAE 4500 Assignment # 6 Fall 2004

This document is an assignment for a feedback control systems course that provides instructions for students to: 1) Sketch the root locus of an uncompensated unit feedback system and analyze its transient response and steady-state error for a unit step input. 2) Design a lead compensator to meet specifications for maximum overshoot and settling time. 3) Design a lag compensator to reduce the steady-state error of the uncompensated system for a unit step input. 4) Determine the gain of the lag compensator to maintain the uncompensated system's pole locations and verify if it meets the steady-state error specification.

Assignment # 6
Fall 2004

Due date: December 2, 2004


Given the open-loop transfer function for a unit feedback system:

G ( s) =

( s + 1)( s + 4 )

a) Sketch the root locus of the uncompensated system.


b) When the loop gain is set to K = 5, find the static position error and the steady-state
error for the unit step of the uncompensated system and determine both the location in
the complex plane (real and imaginary parts) and the characteristics (damping ratio
and damped frequency) of the dominant closed-loop poles.
c) The specs for the transient response when the closed-loop system gain is set to K = 5
are: 7% maximum overshoot and settling time 0.6 sec using the 5% criterion. Design
a lead compensator to meet the desired closed-loop system specifications. Arbitrarily,
place your lead compensator zero at s = 3. Determine the lead compensator gain
and pole location.
d) Design a lag compensator to decrease the steady-state error when the uncompensated
closed-loop system gain is set to K = 5. Specify the steady-state error for the unit step
twenty times lesser than the uncompensated system. Arbitrarily, place your lag
compensator pole at s = 0.002 and assume that the lag compensator gain is
approximately equal to one. Determine the zero location of the lag compensator.
e) Determine the gain of the lag compensator in order to keep the same response
characteristics of the uncompensated closed-loop system (i.e. the same location of the
uncompensated closed-loop system dominant poles when the loop gain is set to K =
5). Check the steady-state error of the lag-compensated system for the unit step and
verify if the lag compensator design was satisfactory.
