Abstract
The positioning of the controller zeros near the slow process poles though greatly improving the speed of response for a set-point change, can be detrimental to load rejection. This result is used to explain the heuristics used in the Ziegler-Nichols tuning formula for proportional-integral-derivative controllers and in the positioning of controller zeros in pole-placement controllers and phase-lag compensators.
