8 The Root Locus Design GUI
8-26
After you press OK, the Root Locus Design GUI calculates and displays the
specified boundaries.
Not all four branches of the root locus are within the design region. Let’s try
adding poles and zeros to our compensator to see if we can meet the design
criteria.
Placing Compensator Poles and Zeros: General Information
There are three types of parameters specifying the compensator:
• Poles
• Zeros
• Gain
Damping ratio boundary
Settling time boundary
The design region lies
within this wedge to the
left of the settling time
boundary.
