Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A motor is controlled by Proportional control. After tuning, the steady-state error is measured at 5 RPM. Discuss why this cannot be eliminated and how you would address the error.

💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between Kp and steady-state error.

Challenge 2 Hard

In a scenario where a Derivative controller is used in a noisy environment, frequent control action adjustments are observed. What measures can you take to maintain stability?

💡 Hint: Reflect on how noise interacts with the control actions.
