Summing Amplifier:
The roots of the characteristic equation depends on the value of ξ ( damping ratio ).
Overdamped Response:
For ξ >1, the roots s1and s2 are real and different and the step response will be
Underdamped Response:
For ξ<1, the roots are complex conjugates: s1,s2 = −ξῳn ± ῳn√1 − ξ
Experiment # 2
The aim of this experiment is to study the influence of the gain on the transient response a
position servo.
ϑi: voltage signal from the input shaft potentiometer [ ϑi socket on Analogue unit ].
ϑo: voltage signal from the output shaft potentiometer [ ϑo socket on Analogue unit ].
G: system gain ; changing it will affect on the position response [ use potentiometer P1].

Steps:
1) From the closed loop characteristic equation; find Gcritical theoretically such that
system is critically damped by the two coming methods.
2) corresponding to the position control of the motor and allow the output ϑo to be
displayed on Oscilloscope.
4) Repeat the previous step at G = 0.3 , 0.4 , 0.5 , 0.6 , 0.7 , 0.8 , 1
