This document discusses steady state error in control systems. It defines steady state error as the difference between the system output and reference signal in the steady state. The document investigates steady state error for various input signals (step, ramp, parabolic) in both unity feedback systems and non-unity feedback systems, which are converted to equivalent unity feedback systems. The effects of each input type on the steady state error are examined.

Steady State Error
Dr. Osama Brinji Steady State Error One objective of control systems is ensure system output response follows a specific reference signal accurately in the steady state
What’s steady state error ?
• It is the difference between the output and the reference in the steady state • It is generally derive from the imperfections, frictions, and the natural composition of system • When design a control system, intend to keep the steady state error below a tolerable value Steady State Error • Definition of Steady State Error
• Figure above is a closed-loop system, where R(s) is the input,
Ea(s) is the actuating signal, and Y(s) is the output • Error of the system is defined E(s) = reference signal – Y(s) • Hence, Steady State Error Steady State Error Steady State Error Steady State Error • Now investigate the effects of various types of inputs on the steady state error 1) Step Function Input 2) Ramp Function Input 3) Parabolic Input

*Successfully converted to a unity feedback system
Steady State Error (with Non-Unity Feedback System) • For the above steps, we must consider inputs and outputs are of the same units • The investigation of the effects of various types of inputs (step, ramp, and parabolic) carried out in the previous section can be applied the the “equivalent unity feedback system” • Try example 3.7 Steady State Error (with Non-Unity Feedback System) Steady State Error (with Non-Unity Feedback System) Steady State Error (with Non-Unity Feedback System) Steady State Error (with Non-Unity Feedback System)
