Abstract
In the field of control theory, compensators are used
when a control design does not meet the intended design
specifications. Some examples of these design specifications
could be percent overshoot (P.O.), settling time (Ts), steady-state
error (ess) for a specified system type, gain margin (G.M.), and
phase margin (P.M.). This paper will deal with continuous-time
compensators. This paper will discuss a compensator graphical
user interface (GUI) implemented using Matlab. This GUI enables
the user to design a compensator using two different methods. The
first method is through the use of the root locus. The second
method is through the use of a Bode plot. The root locus method
is used in the time domain while the Bode plot is used in the
frequency domain. By making both the root locus and Bode plot
available on the GUI, the user can take advantage of the features of
each design method in order to meet the desired design
specifications.
