What is root locus?
Root locus starts from open loop pole(K=0) to open loop zero(K=INFINITY).
The main and the foremost advantage of root locus is to check the system behaviour by adjusting the value of gain K . The adjustment in the value of K will trace the roots accordingly on the R-H plane and will give the conditions for the system to be overdamped, underdamped, crictically damped according the the respective value of k.
If,
ROOTS ARE SAME AND REAL - CRITICALLY DAMPED SYSTEM
ROOTS ARE REAL AND DISTINCT- OVERDAMPED
ROOTS ARE PURELY IMAGINARY- MARGINAL STABLE SYSTEM
ROOTS ARE COMPLEX CONJUGATE PAIRS- UNDERDAMPED
Also it gives the limit of K for which it can be varied until the system becomes unstable.
Advantage of root locus
- Root locus technique in control system is easy to implement as compared to other methods.
- With the help of root locus we can easily predict the performance of the whole system.
- Root locus provides the better way to indicate the parameters.
