Chapter 9 / Control Systems Design by Frequency Response 2 LabVIEW Program B-9-6(a) Figure 9-64(a). Bode diagram of G1(s) From this plot, the phase margin is found to be 7.8o. The gain margin is + ∞ dB. Since the specifications call for a phase margin of 50o, the additional phase lead angle necessary to satisfy the phase requirement is 42.2o. We may assume the maximum Chapter 9 / Control Systems Design by Frequency Response 3 phase lead required to be 48o. This means that 5.8o has been added to compensate for the shift in the gain crossover frequency. Since α α ϕ + − = 1 1 sin m ο ϕ m = 48 corresponds to α = 0.14735.( Note that α = 0.15 corresponds to ο ϕ m = 47.657 .) whether we choose ο ϕ m = 48 or ο ϕ m = 47.657 does not make much difference in the final solution. Hence, we choose α = 0.15. The next step is to determine the corner frequencies ω=1/T and ω=1/ (αT) of the lead compensator. note that the maximum phase-lead angle φm occurs at the geometric mean of the two corner frequencies, or ) 1/( αT ω = .

Bode plot of G1(s) From this Bode diagram we find the phase crossover frequency to be ω = 2.25 rad/sec. Let us choose the gain crossover frequency of the designed system to be ω = 2.25 rad/sec so that the phase lead angle required at ω = 2.25 rad/sec is 60o. Chapter 9 / Control Systems Design by Frequency Response 3 Once we choose the gain crossover frequency to be 2.25 rad/sec, we can determine the corner frequencies of the phase lag portion of the lag-lead compensator. Let us choose the corner frequency 1/T2 to be one decade below the new gain crossover frequency, or 1/T2 = 0.255. For the lead portion of the compensator, we first determine the value of β that provides φm = 65o, (5o added to 60o.) Since 1 1 1 1 1 1 sin + − = + − = β β β β φm We find β = 20 corresponds to 64.7912o. Since we need 65o phase margin, we may choose β = 20. Thus β = 20 Then, the corner frequency 1/( βT2) of the phase lag portion becomes as follows: .0 01125 20 225 .0 .0 225 1 20 1 1 2 = = = x βT Hence, the phase lag portion of the compensator becomes as 1 .8889 88 1 .4 4444 20 01125 .0 .0 225 + + = + + s s s s For the phase lead portion, we first note that G1(j 2.25) = 10.35 dB. If the lag-lead compensator contributes -10.35 dB at ω = 2.25 rad/sec, then the new gain crossover frequency will be as desired. The intersections of the line with slope +20 dB/dec [passing through the point (2.25,-10.35 dB)] and the 0 dB line and - 26.0206 dB line determine the corner frequencies. Such intersections are found as ω = 0.3704 and ω = 7.4077 rad/sec, respectively.

Expanded diagram of open-loop transfer function From this diagram we find that the phase margin is approximately 60o and gain margin is 14.35 dB. The static velocity error constant is 20 sec-1. The closed-loop transfer function of the designed system is 100 719 4. 1651 595 1. 161 12 100 714.42 1199.90 ( ) ) ( 2 3 4 5 2 + + + + + + + = s s s s s s s R s C s LabVIEW Program B-9-9(c) produces the unit-step response. The resulting unit-step response curve is shown in Figure 9-67(c). Chapter 9 / Control Systems Design by Frequency Response 7 LabVIEW Program B-9-9(c) Figure 9-67(c). Unit-step response curve. The closed-loop poles are: Chapter 9 / Control Systems Design by Frequency Response 8 Notice that there are two zeros (s = -0.225 and s = -0.4939) near the closed-loop poles at s = -0.246254 ± j0.107582. Such a pole-zero combination generates a long tail with small amplitude in the unit-step response. LabVIEW Program B-9-9(d) will produce the unit-ramp response as shown in Figure 9-67(d).
