In this method, the closedloop system poles are plotted against the value of a system parameter, typically the openloop transfer function gain. These real pole and zero locations are highlighted on diagram, along with the portion of the locus that exists on the real axis. Now in order to determine the stability of the system using the root locus technique we find the range of values of k for which the complete performance of the system will be satisfactory and the operation is stable.

The root loci may be found on portions of the real axis to the left of an odd number of open loop poles and zeros. Let us first view the root locus for the plant in open loop. Root locus sketching the poles of the openloop transfer function gsks are given by. Gives the evans root locus for a siso linear system in statespace or transfer form hs.
For a selected sample of gains k rl diagram examples 1. The root locus is the locus of the roots of the characteristic equation by varying system gain k from zero to infinity. To do this, we notice that the corresponding damping ratio is. Root locus design imag axes real axis waterbed reduced sensitivity. In this session, i have explained example of root locus plot. This is because complex roots occur in conjugate pairs. Root locus can describe the performance of the system as varius parameters are changed. This function can be applied to any of the following negative feedback loops by setting sys appropriately. Root locus elec304alper erdogan 1 7 real axis segments which parts of real line will be a part of root locus.
Find the gain k so that the system responds with an overshoot of 1 percent. Root locus design is a common control system design technique in which you edit the compensator gain, poles, and zeros in the root locus diagram. Root locus 2 root locus observations because we have a 3rdorder system, there are 3 separate plots on the root locus, one for each root. In each case gain k is chosen such that percent overshoot is same. The root locus exists on real axis to left of an odd number of poles and zeros of open loop transfer function, gshs, that are on the real axis. Design via root locus elec304alper erdogan 1 1 lecture 1 design via root locus motivation. 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. The rootlocus can be obtained in one step by using matlab. Root locus design root locus design is a common control system design technique in which you edit the compensator gain, poles, and zeros in the root locus diagram.
We know that, the characteristic equation of the closed loop control system is. In this tutorial, we will introduce the root locus, show how to create it using matlab, and demonstrate how to design feedback controllers that satisfy certain performance criteria through the use of the root locus.
