• Example 1 : Figure below shows the digital control system. Find the value of
the digital compensator gain K to make the system just unstable.
• Solution: K?
G(Z) =
• The characteristic equation of the system:
2
• Simplify:
• Now, the first row of jury's array:
• Condition 1 Q(1) ˃ 0
• The condition 1 is satisfied if K ˃ 1 (stable)
• Condition 2
3
• Hance, the system is marginally stable when the K =105.23 and 9.58
4
Example 2: Determine the closed loop stability of the system shown in
Figure below when K = 1?
Solution:
Since H(S)= 1
5
We know that the characteristics equation is 1 + G(z) = 0
Since |Z1| = |Z2| < 1, the system is stable.
