Question

For 10 points each, answer the following about PID controllers:
[10e] PID controllers apply corrections based on proportional terms, derivative terms, and terms based on this operation. This calculus operation can be approximated with a Riemann sum.
ANSWER: integration [accept equivalents such as taking the integral]
[10m] As with all controllers, a PID controller’s transfer function is obtained by applying this operation to the input and output. This operation equals [read slowly] the integral from zero to infinity of g of t times e to the minus s t dt.
ANSWER: Laplace transform
[10h] A PID controller’s stability can be evaluated by counting the transfer function’s poles and zeroes in a criterion named for this scientist. He also names the minimum sampling rate that a band-limited signal can be reconstructed at.
ANSWER: Harry Nyquist [accept Nyquist stability criterion or Nyquist rate]
