11.18. Steady-State Errors Analysis

There are several factors which cause errors in a control system and all physical systems have steady-state errors in response to a certain type of input. A system may not have any steady-state error due to one type of input, but may have steady-state errors due to other types of input. The imperfections in the system components, such as static friction, backlash, amplifier drift, are some of the causes of errors in a control system. The good or bad performance of a control system is judged by the steady-state error, in addition to other performance criteria.
