and C(s) = kP + s
+
skD .
Figure 1: Question-1
a) Assuming that kP ̸= 0 and that the closed-loop system is stable, what condition(s)
must kI and kD satisfy so that the steady-state error for constant reference inputs
is zero?
b) Assuming that kP ̸= 0 and that the closed-loop system is stable, what condi-
tion(s) must kI and kD satisfy so that the steady-state error for constant input
disturbances is zero?
c) Assuming that kI ̸= 0, what condition(s) must kP , kI , and kD satisfy so that
the closed-loop system is stable?

2. Consider the block diagram in Question 1 now with P (s) = s(s+1)
and C(s) = s+1
.
a) Determine the range of values of the parameter a of C(s) such that the closed=loop
system is stable.
b) For the system of part (a), give the steady-state error ess that is observed when
r(t) = 2 and d(t) = 0. The result may be a function of the parameter α.
c) For the system of part (a), give the steady-state error ess that is observed when
r(t) = 0 and d(t) = 2. The result may be a function of the parameter α.

Figure 2: Question-4
a) Find Y (s) as a function of R(s) and D(s) for the above system.
b) For the system of part (a), let C1 (s) = 1/(s + a), C2 (s) = k(s + 1)/(s + 2) and
P (s) = 1/s. Find conditions on k and a such that the closed-loop system is stable.
b) For the system of parts (a)-(b), let e(t) = r(t) − y(t). Note that the signal is not
equal to the signal denoted e1 on the diagram. Assuming constant but arbitrary
signals r = r0 and d = d0 , obtain E(s) and conditions on k and a such that
limt→∞ e(t) = 0.
