(d) Compare the data and the three models by simulating their step
responses.
Table 6.1
[2] Fig. 6.1 presents the response of a system to a unit step in the
input.
(a) Use these data to derive a FOPTD model of this system
(b) Plot the response of the model and compare with the data
(c) The FOPTD model does not capture all the features of the
original response. What is the feature that the FOPTD model fails
to capture? What causes this type of dynamic behavior?
