Please print out this page and attach it with your solutions to other problems. Root locus starts k0 at poles of open loop transfer function, gshs. These real pole and zero locations are highlighted on diagram, along with the portion of the locus that exists on the real axis. The figure below shows a unityfeedback architecture, but the procedure is identical for any openloop transfer function, even if some elements of the openloop transfer. As the openloop gain, k, of a control system varies over a continuous range of values, the root locus diagram shows the trajectories of the closedloop poles of the feedback system.

Poles of the closed loop transfer function are related to the zeros and poles of the open loop transfer function and also to the gain. Poles of the closedloop transfer function are related to the zeros and poles of the open loop transfer function and also to the gain. On complementary root locus of biproper transfer functions.
Root locus method root locus matlab electrical academia. In this technique, we will use an open loop transfer function to know the stability of the closed loop control system. The transfer function is defined using the function tf. Here, the root locus shifts towards left and hence stability increase. Where are the zeros of the closedloop transfer function. The root locus technique in control system was first introduced in the year 1948 by evans. Openloop transfer function of a unityfeedback system is 1 12 d d s gs g s es e ss s given. We are about to examine the properties of the root locus. The open loop transfer function, gshs, has 3 poles, therefore the locus has 3 branches. It is most useful for single input single output systems. The root locus is the locus of the roots of the characteristic equation by varying system. Also, plot the time response of the three systems resulting from a unitstep input. General steps for drawing the root locus of the given system. Hence, we can identify the nature of the control system.
Any physical system is represented by a transfer function in the form of we can find poles and zeros from gs. The properties of the root locus can be derived from the general control system of figure 8. Root locus elec304alper erdogan 1 7 real axis segments which parts of real line will be a part of root locus. The roots of the characteristic equations are at s1 and s2. Sketching root loci 6 points sketch the general shape of the root locus for each of the openloop polezero plots shown below. From these properties we will be able to make a rapid sketch of the root locus for higherorder systems without having to factor the denominator of the closedloop transfer function. This is actually the root locus for the system in the last example above, hence we can doublecheck that our sketch is reasonably close to the actual diagram. It has two examples and if you want the matlab program, here it is. In the root locus diagram, we can observe the path of the closed loop poles. Now, the complementary root locus of can be directly plotted using the construction rules presented in 1721, because is a strictly proper transfer function, and the problems with these rules, pointed out in, will not appear. Locate the openloop poles and zeros on the complex plane 2.
It provides the pattern of movement of closed loop holes when open loop gain varies. The values of s that make the open loop transfer function equal to 1 must satisfy the characteristic equation of the closed loop.
