The general open loop transfer function which models the angular velocity of of a motor is:

where and are positive constants.

What is the transfer function of the angular position of a motor ?

Since angular velocity is the derivative of angular position, we have:

From Theorem 7 of Table 2.2: .

Assuming the initial angular position is zero, or :

Transfer function of the angular position of a motor is

What, if any, is the steady state value of in open loop response to a step input:

Using the final value theorem from Laplace transform, we have:

Laplace transform of is

the steady-state value of is:

  1. What does the graph represents? What does the first derivative of the graph represent and look like?
    • Angular position of the motor. The first derivate would be the angular velocity, or the rate of change. It would start at zero (as the first part is flatten) then will keep increasing since the slope is positive.
  2. What is represented by non-linear section?
    • Represent the system is accelerating
  3. Steady-state error
  4. percent overshoot
  5. settling time of this response
  6. is the response stable with respect to angular position?
