Application of the rootlocus method to control systems. Octaves rlocus presents the root locus plot without allowing the user to get the gain and other. The main idea of root locus design is to predict the closedloop response from the root locus plot which depicts possible closedloop pole locations and is drawn from the openloop transfer function. Details of the design procedure will be covered later. As you can see, the locus is symmetric about the real axis. Root locus example 1 in control engineering by engineering funda, control system engineering example duration.
Then by adding zeros andor poles via the controller, the root locus can be modified in order to achieve a desired closedloop response. Pdf example problems and solutions ogata root locus. Each plot starts at a location equal to the location of a root of the plant transfer function. Graphically, the locus is the set of paths in the complex plane traced by the closedloop poles as the root locus gain is varied from zero to infinity. In a feedback control system, at least part of the information used to change the output variable is derived from measurements performed on the output.
