A cascade control configuration is sometimes used to separate different objectives of feedback control. For instance, first an inner loop can be used to stabilize the process, and then an outer loop can be used to control the output to track set-point changes and reject disturbances. An example of a cascade control system is shown in Fig. E. The process transfer function is unstable.

(a) Determine the maximum range of Kinner values for which the inner loop will be stable.

(b) Now assume Kc2 = 6 and Gc1 is a PI controller with gain Kc1 and ?I. Find values of Kc1 and ?I such that the closed-loop poles of the transfer function from YSP, to Y(s) are at s = ?0.5 ? O.2/.
