Control Systems: Tracking and Regulation

This lecture covers the concepts of tracking and regulation performance in control systems, focusing on the transfer functions between reference signals and tracking errors. It discusses steady-state errors for different types of reference signals and the impact of integrators in the controller. The lecture also explores the use of proportional, proportional-integral (PI), and proportional-derivative (PD) controllers, along with the Ziegler-Nichols and model reference control tuning methods. Digital implementation of PID controllers and the windup problem are also addressed.
