Control system miscellaneous

  1. The open-loop transfer function of a feedback control system is given by
    G(s) H(s) =
    K(s + 2)
    s(s + 4)(s2 + 4s + 8)

    I n the r oot locus diagram of the system, the asymptotes of the root loci for large values of K meet a point in the s-plane. Which one of the following is the set of co-ordinate of that point?
    1. (– 1, 0)
    2. (– 2, 0)
    3. -10
      , 0
      3
    4. (2, 0)
Correct Option: B

Given open-loop transfer function has one zero at s = – 2 and four poles at s = 0, – 4, – 2 + s and – 2– s respectively.
The point at which asymptates meet is called centroid and is given by

σA =
∑ real parts of pole - ∑ real parts of zero
number of poles - number of zero

=
0 - 4 - 2 - 2 + 2
4 - 1

=
-6
= -2
3

Hence co-ordinates are (– 2, 0)
