Topics
Laplace-domain modeling
Transfer functions
Main lesson
Design from overshoot and settling time
Use this for “A loop must overshoot 10% and settle in 2 s. Find ζ and ωₙ.”
DC gain from poles and zeros
Use this for “Find the DC gain of G(s) = 5(s + 2)/((s + 1)(s + 4)).”
Steady-state error to step inputs
Use this for “Find the steady-state step error of G(s) = 30/((s + 1)(s + 5)) under unity feedback.”
Stability and root locus
Frequency response
Main lesson
Bode asymptotes and the exact gain
Use this for “Sketch the Bode gain of 100 ÷ (s + 10) and find the exact gain at 50 rad/s.”
Gain margin
Use this for “Find the gain margin of G(s) = 2 ÷ (s(s + 1)(s + 2)) in unity feedback.”
Closed-loop bandwidth
Use this for “Find the closed-loop bandwidth of a system with ζ = 0.4 and ωₙ = 5 rad/s.”
PID control
Main lesson
PI control: gains for a damping ratio
Use this for “A plant 1/(s + 1) under PI control with Kₚ = 3 and Kᵢ = 8: find ωₙ and ζ of the closed loop.”
Ziegler–Nichols tuning
Use this for “A loop oscillates steadily at Kᵤ = 48 with period Tᵤ = 2.22 s. Find the Ziegler–Nichols PID gains.”
What each PID term does
Use this for “Which PID term removes the steady-state error to a step?”
