Error constants of 20/[s(0.5s+1)(s+2)], r = 10+5t
Short answer
The system is type 1: Kp=∞, Kv=10 s⁻¹, Ka=0. For r(t)=10+5t, steady-state error ess = 0 + 5/10 = 0.5.
The open loop transfer function of a unity negative feedback system is given by G(s) = 20/[s(0.5s+1)(s+2)]. Calculate the static error constants for this system. Also calculate the steady state error due to input r(t) = 10 + 5t.
The steady state error follows from the static error constants. has one pole at the origin, so the system is Type 1.
Static error constants
Steady state error for
Answer: , , ; .
Note on stability: , so the characteristic equation is . Routh's condition for a cubic needs , which fails. So the closed loop as given is unstable, and the error value above (the usual expected answer) holds only in the formal sense. The gain would have to be below 16 (i.e. in ) for the result to apply.
