Learning outcomes: Understand the impact of changing system configuration on controller design DC motors are used to operate the gearbox using a spring loading mechanism in gear switching of automotive systems. Such a system configuration can be represented by the following block diagram. Where it is assumed that the motor is now connected to a spring load related by a spring constant M. Question 3.0: Design an appropriate control algorithm for the above system and give your justification.
