Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
If a proportional control system for a temperature regulator has Kp set to 2.5 and the current temperature is 60°F, but the setpoint is 75°F, what control output does the system generate?
💡 Hint: Calculate the error first, then multiply by the gain!
Discuss how increasing Kp could introduce oscillations in a control system and what strategies could be employed to mitigate that effect.
💡 Hint: Think about balancing speed with stability!
