Applying construction rules of the root loci rule 2. Root locus 2 root locus example we will show that by manipulating the denominator polynomial it is possible to generate a root locus plot for the variation of other transfer function parameters. This is because complex roots occur in conjugate pairs. Rlocus analysis design nyu tandon school of engineering. Root locus solved example with each step explanation youtube. The sections of real axis lying on root locus are shown below. Use the information from steps 17 and rules to sketch the root locus. It can be drawn by varying the parameter generally gain of the system but there are also other parameters that can be varied from zero to infinity.
Graphically, the locus is the set of paths in the complex plane traced by the closedloop poles as the root locus gain is varied from zero to infinity. Hs 0 note that the closed loopcharacteristic equation obtained will be in function of k, and with it one can form the routh hurwitz table to apply the routhhurwitz stability criterion. The system could be presented in state space form so we enter the system in state space form if we wont to draw the root locus for multi systems in the same graph write rlocussys1,sys2. Rootlocus design the rootlocus can be used to determine the value of the loop gain, which results in a satisfactory closedloop behavior. Craig 4 the root locus plot is a plot of the roots of the characteristic equation of the closedloop system for all values of a system parameter, usually the gain. Example the root loci start at the poles and at the zeros. Since the gain has been chosen to satisfy the magnitude criterion at s 1, then s 1 is an actual closedloop pole for the compensated system. Design via root locus elec304alper erdogan 1 1 lecture 1 design via root locus motivation. The root locus method typically focuses on the gain parameter. The root loci are symmetric with respect to the real axis of the splane. Root locus of a transfer function with example control systems duration.

The number of root loci branches equals the order of the characteristic equation, maxn,m. Compilation of root locus pages swarthmore college. Root locus technique problem 1 root locus analysis. Here, the root locus shifts towards left and hence stability increase. Using this technique the open loop poles and zeros can be modified to satisfy the requirements to be met by closed loop poles and zeros. A root locus plot is simply a plot of the s zero values and the s poles on a graph with real and imaginary coordinates. This method is very powerful graphical technique for investigating the effects of the variation of a system parameter on the locations of the closed loop poles. How to enter a system transfer function or state space to labview. The root locus plot depicts the trajectories of closedloop poles when the feedbackgain k varies from 0 to infinity.
Using root locus rules gives the root locus plot in figure 6.

Draw root locus for the system whose open loop transfer function is 2 1 solution. Root locus locus of roots as parameter value is changed ycan plot pole location versus any parameter. Section 5 root locus analysis college of engineering. Frequency response data can be obtained from the root locus plot.
The most common example of the root locus problem deals with the uncertain or adjustable gain as the varying parameter. Plot the root locus diagram for this proportional feedback system as k is varied from 0 to 1using the standard root locus rules. Find the gain k so that the system responds with an overshoot of less than 1 percent and a settling time as fast as possible. In a feedback control system, at least part of the information used to change the output variable is derived from measurements performed on the output variable itself. This is also known as root locus technique in control system and is used for determining the stability of the given system. The root locus of g c1 sg p s is plotted, and it is seen that the root locus of the compensated system does pass through s 1. The root locus plot technique is essentially a time domain technique. Youll have to consider how your differentiator will actually handle a step input and how your amplifier will saturate. Root locus goals rationale howto examples the root locus is a graphical procedure for determining the poles of a closedloop system given the poles and zeros of a forwardloop system. We know that, the characteristic equation of the closed loop control system is. Since the pole at s1 is closer to the origin, we would expect it to dominate somewhat, giving the system behavior similar to a first order system with a.
