← ScienceWhich risk increases when a PID controller's transfer function excessively lags?
A)Actuator thermal runaway develops
B)Overshoot and potential instability✓
C)Sensor readings become quantized
D)Decreased steady-state error exists
💡 Explanation
Excessive lag in the transfer function introduces phase shift, causing positive feedback rather than correction due to instability. Gain margin decreases, introducing overshoot and potential oscillations because the feedback becomes incorrectly timed, rather than damping as expected.
