Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

If a control system is tuned using the Ziegler-Nichols Method and shows consistent oscillations with a critical gain of 2.5, what considerations should be made in selecting the final controller parameters?

💡 Hint: Reflect on how these parameters affect system performance.

Challenge 2 Hard

Describe the effects of overshoot and oscillations in a tuned control system. Provide a graphical sketch to illustrate.

💡 Hint: Think about how real systems behave when response time is adjusted.
