Control System Questions

The total time response of a control system is the sum of:

• Error response and dynamic response

• Steady-state response and error response

• Transient response and steady-state response

• Damping response and natural response

Which parameter defines the oscillatory nature of second-order system response?

• Gain constant

• Time constant

• Natural frequency

• Damping ratio

The rise time for an underdamped second-order system is approximately:

• (1.8/ωn)

• π/ωn

• Depends on damping ratio and natural frequency

• 1/ωn

Which of the following is NOT a standard test signal?

• Parabolic input

• Step input

• Ramp input

• Triangular input

Laplace transform of unit parabolic input is:

• 1/s

• s²

• 1/s²

• 1/s³

Standard test signals are primarily used to:

• All of the above

• Determine system type and constants

• Evaluate steady-state errors

• Evaluate transient characteristics

A ramp input corresponds to which physical situation?

• Constant velocity motion

• Sudden change in position

• Constant acceleration motion

• Sinusoidal disturbance

Which test input is mainly used for determining acceleration error constant (Ka)?

• Impulse input

• Parabolic input

• Ramp input

• Step input

Steady-state error is caused by:

• Noise in system

• Difference between input and output after transients vanish

• Oscillatory response

• Non-linearity in system

A Type-0 system has:

• Finite error for parabolic input

• Finite error for step input, infinite for ramp

• Zero error for ramp input

• Zero error for step input, finite for ramp
