Introduction. Physical control systems suffer from steady-state error in response to certain types of inputs. A system may have no steady-state error to a step input, but the same system may exhibit nonzero steady-state error to a ramp input. Existence of steady-state error for a given input depends on the type of open-loop transfer function of the system..
