Classical control – a hybrid design method by inspection
This article describes a method whereby most linear time – invariant SISO control systems dominated by no more than three time constants can be designed by a simple procedure, refined if necessary by empirical formulae. In many cases specifying the initial peak time of a classical third order step response is sufficient.
