Problem 1 Block diagram

An electric traction motor control system is shown in block diagram in Figure 1. Obtain the expression
of the output ( s ) in relation with the reference d ( s ) and the disturbance Td ( s ) . What type of

system is it? (system order? under-damped? over-damped? why? )

Figure 1
Problem 2 Time-domain specifications
A feedback control system is shown in Figure 3.
Select K and p such that:
The overshoot less than 5%
The settling time to within 2% of the final
value less than 4 seconds.

Problem 3 Frequency-domain specifications

Consider a closed-loop system in Figure 3.

Figure 3

Assume
G (s ) =

1
1
and H (s ) = 1.
, Gc (s ) = 1 +
s (0.1s + 1)
10s

a) Plot the Bode diagram (magnitude and phase) of the open-loop system, i.e.,
Gol (s ) = G (s )Gc (s )H (s ).
b) Is the closed-loop system stable? Why?
c) Determine the phase margin of the closed-loop system.
