Consider a closed-loop system consisting of a first order plant with transfer function P(s), and a PI controller (
k_p,
k_i \neq 0;
k_d=0) with an actuator that has an output range between -1 and 1, as shown in the following diagram. Furthermore, you can assume that there are no noise and disturbance inputs injected into the system, and the plant satisfies
P(0)=6.
The following two plots show the signals y and
r for references of the form
r(t)=r_0 \mathbf{1} (t), for two different values of
r_0. Match the system response plots to the possible values of reference input magnitudes
r_0. (The plots are not drawn to scale.)
