A liquid level controller linearly converts a displacement of 2 m to 3 in into 4-20 mA control
signal. A relay serves as two position controller to open and close an inlet valve.Relay closes at
12 mA and opens at 10 mA.The hysteresis zone is
0.1 m
0.125 m
0.15 m
0.2m
Answer -- 0.125 m

well designed control
Answer -- Improves the steady state response while marginally affecting transient response, for
well designed control
The effect of integral controller on the steady state error (ess) and on the relative stability (Rs)
of the system are
Both are increased
