Specifying percent overshoot in the continuoustime root locus causes two rays, starting at the root locus origin, to appear. How to plot root locus without using special matlab functions. I would like to plot the closed loop poles for varying parameter a, which appears as a zero of the system g i know it is possilbe to manipulate the algebric expression describing the closed loop poles so it would. Note how closely it resembles the root locus without the polezero cancelation. Root locus plot of dynamic system matlab rlocus mathworks. Of course, matlab can do this more accurately, but it is important to know how pole and zero locations affect.
Using root locus rules gives the root locus plot in figure 6. As the openloop gain, k, of a control system varies over a continuous range of values, the root locus diagram shows the trajectories of the closedloop poles of the feedback system. Root locus design root locus design is a common control system design technique in which you edit the compensator gain, poles, and zeros in the root locus diagram. To show potential pitfalls of this method, consider the two systems g1s and g2s. On complementary root locus of biproper transfer functions. Plot root locus and return plot handle matlab rlocusplot.
