Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Question**: Using a D-controller to regulate an underdamped second-order process, what will happen given a step input?
- ○ Final output y'(t) is zero
- ○ No correct answer
- ○ Process can track the new setpoint
- ○ Process will be unstable
- ○ Oscillation will not happen given any parameter \( \tau_D \)
**Explanation**: This question is exploring the response of an underdamped second-order system when regulated by a derivative (D) controller under a step input. The options suggest various possible outcomes, such as zero final output, stability issues, or the ability to track a new setpoint. The impact of the derivative time constant \( \tau_D \) on the oscillation behavior is also considered.
