Zeros act like a magnet for the locus eminating from the poles, so if the zeros are outside the unit circle (open loop) then there is a very good chance that at some value of gain the closed-loop poles will find there way there.

Not so good if you have a structural resonance to deal with (which you always do). You don't discuss filtering this with a pole? Hardy

Were I to re-write it (which it needs), I would include that tidbit -- particularly given that frequency domain design really makes it clear why you want to band limit your differentiator. -- Tim Wescott Wescott Design Services http://www.wescottdesign.com Do you need to implement control loops in software?

Better to have a differentiator from freuqency f1 to f2 spanning unity gain crossover. Hardy

The PID stuff tends to come from process control whereas the lag-lead compensation is your traditional motor servo stuff - historically. I am guessing that in proces control it is more guesswork as you don't have a good model of the plant. Hence the fiddling with three-term controllers. Whereas for motors, PLLs etc we can draw a fairly accurate Bode Plot. Hardy
