Question

16.3 Consider the cascade control system in Fig. E16.3. Use IMC tuning rules for both the master and slave controllers. Design K2 first, and then use that value to design G₁₁

(PI controller). The higher-order transfer function can be approximated first by a FOPTD model using a step test. Plot closed-loop responses for different values of the IMC closed-loop time constant for both outer loop and inner loop for a set point change.
