Design of Control Systems Cascade Root Locus
Design of Control Systems Cascade Root Locus
Design of Control Systems Cascade Root Locus
However
Root locus design is very intuitive. The root locus
provides a portrait for 0 〈 K 〈 ∞ for all possible closed-
loop pole locations.
Proportional plus integral plus derivative (PID) control
is widely used in industrial applications. PID control is
best understood from the root locus perspective
1
Compensation
• The design of a control system is concerned with the arrangement of
the system structure and the selection of a suitable components and
parameters.
• Types of Compensation
– Cascade compensation
– Feedback compensation
– Output compensation
– Input compensation
2
PID Controllers
• PID control consists of a proportional plus derivative (PD)
compensator cascaded with a proportional plus integral (PI)
compensator.

The Characteristics of P, I, and D Controllers
Note that these correlations may not be exactly accurate, because Kp, Ki, and Kd are
dependent of each other. In fact, changing one of these variables can change the effect of the
other two. For this reason, the table should only be used as a reference when you are
determining the values for Ki, Kp and Kd.

Lead/Lag Compensation
• Lead/Lag compensation is very similar to PD/PI, or PID control.
• Lag and PI compensation are similar and have the same response: to
improve the steady state accuracy of the closed-loop system.

Lead Compensation Techniques Based on the Root-Locus Approach
• From the performance specifications, determine the desired location for the
dominant closed-loop poles.
• If the compensator is required, place the zero of the phase lead network
directly below the desired root location.
• Determine the pole location so that the total angle at the desired root location
is 180o and therefore is in the compensated root locus.

Adding Lead Compensation
The lead compensator has the same purpose as the PD compensator:
to improve the transient response of the closed-loop system by
reshaping the root locus. The lead compensator consists of a zero and
a pole with the zero closer to the origin of the s plane than the pole. The
zero reshapes a portion of the root locus to achieve the desired
transient response. The pole is placed far enough to the left that it does
not have much influence of the portion influenced by the zero.

• A first-order lag compensator can be designed using the root locus. A lag
compensator in root locus form is given by
s − zo
G ( s) =
s − po
• where the magnitude of zo is greater than the magnitude of po. A phase-lag
compensator tends to shift the root locus to the right, which is undesirable.
For this reason, the pole and zero of a lag compensator must be placed
close together (usually near the origin) so they do not appreciably change
the transient response or stability characteristics of the system.
13
How does the Lag Controller Shift the Root Locus to the
Right?
• Recall finding the asymptotes of the root locus that lead to the zeros at
infinity, the equation to determine the intersection of the asymptotes along
the real axis is:
α= ∑ poles − ∑ zeros
poles − zeros

Control Modes
There are many ways by which a control unit can react to an error
and supply an output for correcting elements.
• The two-step mode: The controller is just a switch which is
activated by the error signal and supplies just an on-off correcting
signal. Example of such mode is the bimetallic thermostat.
• The proportional mode (P): This produces a control action that is
proportional to the error. The correcting signal thus becomes
bigger the bigger the error. Therefore, the error is reduced the
amount of correction is reduced and the correcting process slows
down. A summing operational amplifier with an inverter can be
used as a proportional controller.
• The derivative mode: This produces a control action that is
proportional to the rate at which the error is changing. When there
is a sudden change in the error signal the controller gives a large
correcting signal. When there is a gradual change only a small
correcting signal is produced. An operational amplifier connected
as a differentiator circuit followed by another operational amplifier
connected as an inverter make an electronic derivative controller
circuit.
15
• The integral mode (I): This produces a control action that is
proportional to the integral of the error with time. Therefore, a
constant error signal will produce an increasing correcting signal.
The correction continues to increase as long as the error persists.

DC Motor Speed Modeling
The DC motor has been the workhorse in industry for many reasons including
good torque speed characteristics. It is a common actuator in control systems.
It directly provides rotary motion and, coupled with wheels or drums and
cables, can provide transitional motion. The electric circuit of the armature and
the free body diagram of the rotor are shown in the following Figure.
We develop here the transfer function of a separately excited armature
controlled DC motor.

Data Measurement
• Once we have identified the transfer function of the system we may
proceed to the final two phases of the design cycle, the design of a
suitable controller and the implementation of the controller on the
actual system. In the case of speed control of the DC motor, the
control will prove to be quite easy.
• An important point to be highlighted here is that if we have a good
model of the plant to be controlled, and we already have identified
the parameters of the model, then the design of the controller is
easy.

Design Needs
• The uncompensated motor may only rotate at 0.1 rad/sec with an input
voltage of 1 V. Since the most basic requirement of a motor is that it should
rotate at the desired speed, the steady-state error of the motor speed should be
less than 1%.
• The other performance requirement is that the motor must accelerate to its
steady-state speed as soon as it turns on. In this case, we want it to have a
settling time of 2 seconds for example. Since a speed faster than the reference
may damage the equipment, we want to have an overshoot of less than 5%. If
we simulate the reference input (r) by a unit step input, then the motor speed
output should have:

PID Design technique for DC Motor Speed Control
KI KDs2 + KPs + KI
KP + + KDs =
s s
• See how the PID controller works in a closed-loop system using the
previous Figure. The variable (e) represents the tracking error, the
difference between the desired input value (R) and the actual output (y).
This error signal (e) will be sent to the PID controller, and the controller
computes both the derivative and the integral of this error signal.
• The signal (u) just past the controller is equal to the proportional gain (Kp)
times the magnitude of the error plus the integral gain (Ki) times the
integral of the error plus the derivative gain (Kd) times the derivative of the
error.

Root Locus Design Method for DC Motor Speed Control
Drawing the Open-Loop Root Locus
• The main idea of root locus design is to find the closed-loop response
from the open-loop root locus plot. Then by adding zeros and/or
poles to the original plant, the closed-loop response can be modified.
• We need the settling time and the overshoot to be as small as
possible. Large damping corresponds to points on the root locus near
the real axis. A fast response corresponds to points on the root locus
far to the left of the imaginary axis.
• The system may be overdamped and the settling time will be about
one second, so the overshoot and settling time requirements could
be satisfied.
• The only problem we may see from the generated plot is the steady
state error. If we increase the gain to reduce the steady-state error,
the overshoot becomes too large. We need to add a lag controller to
reduce the steady-state error.
