Mid-Term Exam

This document contains an exam for an Automatic Control course, including 3 questions. Question 1 has 5 true/false statements about control systems. Question 2 asks students to design compensators to meet certain response criteria and stability margins. Question 3 asks about differences between PID tuning methods, modern vs conventional control theory, and analyzing state controllability and observability of a system. The exam is 1.5 hours for a 4th year Computer and Systems section on Automatic Control at Aswan University's Faculty of Engineering.

Q1) Put T for true and F for False for each of the following statements. [5 points]
a. The addition of a pole to the open-loop transfer function tending to lower the
system’s relative stability and to slow down the settling of the response.
b. A system compensated with a PI controller is usually less error than the system
compensated with a PD controller.
c. When the mathematical model of the plant is not known, PID controls prove to
be most useless.
d. Phase lag occurs in the high-frequency region and phase lead occurs in the low
frequency region.
e. Lead compensation essentially yields an appreciable improvement in transient
response and steady state accuracy.

Q2) [12 points]
a. The mechanical spring-dashpot system is one way to realize lead and lag
compensators. State two other methods.
b. Design a compensator such that the unit-step response curve will exhibit
maximum overshoot of 30% or less and settling time of 3 sec or less.

phase margin of 60°, gain margin of not less than 8 dB, and the static velocity error
constant = 20 sec-1.
