The characteristic equation of a control system is given by

s(s + 4) (s + 5) (s + 6) + K(s + 3) = 0

The number of asymptotes and the centroid of asymptotes of this control system are
1. 2 and (4, 0)
2. – 3 and (-4, 0)
3. – 3 and (-12, 0)
4. 3 and (-4, 0)

Correct Answer - Option 4 : 3 and (-4, 0)

Concept:

Number of asymptotes = |P – Z|

P = number of open-loop poles

Z = number of open-loop zeros

Centroid:

It is the intersection of the asymptotes and always lies on the real axis. It is denoted by σ.

$σ = \frac{{\sum {P_i} - \sum {Z_i}}}{{\left| {P - Z} \right|}}$

ΣPi is the sum of real parts of finite poles of G(s)H(s)

ΣZi is the sum of real parts of finite zeros of G(s)H(s)

Calculation:

given that s(s + 4) (s + 5) (s + 6) + K(s + 3) = 0

characteristic equation 1 + G(s)H(s) = 0

$1 + \frac{{K\left( {s + 3} \right)}}{{s\left( {s + 4} \right)\left( {s + 5} \right)\left( {s + 6} \right)}}=0$

$G(s)H(s)= \frac{{K\left( {s + 3} \right)}}{{s\left( {s + 4} \right)\left( {s + 5} \right)\left( {s + 6} \right)}}$

from the above transfer function

P = 4 and Z = 1

1) Number of asymptotes = |P – Z| = |4 - 1| = 3

2) Centroid

$σ = \frac{{\sum {P_i} - \sum {Z_i}}}{{\left| {P - Z} \right|}}$

$σ = \frac{{\sum {(0 -4-5-6)} - \sum {(-3)}}}{{\left| {4-1} \right|}}$

σ = -12 / 3 = -4

so number of asymptotes and centroid are -3 and (-4, 0)
