Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You have a system with a steady-state error of 5 units with a proportional controller setting Kp = 4. If the error decreases by 1 unit, calculate the new control output.
💡 Hint: Start by calculating the new error and then apply the control output formula.
In a speed control system, if increasing Kp from 2 to 8 causes overshoot, propose a solution to prevent this within the system's design.
💡 Hint: Think about how different PID components could interact to smooth the system's output.
