Dynamics of electronic self-balancing systems

Subject to the usual assumption of component linearity, the operational calculus, i.e., the Laplace transformation, is applied to the analysis of the dynamic response of the industrial self-balancing potentiometer. Transient response and frequency response of the system are considered. It is established, however, that the system is primarily velocity limited. For large amplitude signals which cause the system to depart from the linear condition, a method for prediction of approximate frequency response is given.
