Is it possible to control servo system without integral action? Here is the method to control it with modified proportional action only;

You can easily control a servo with a type 0 loop. Nothing new about that. Do you understand any control theory? For example, without an integrator there must be an offset error to produce an output.


Here is a simple link to get you started.

Also, it is easy to use non-linear methods (especially with micro-processors) to optimize performance and avoid linear controller pitfalls.


Hope that helps.

I think the problem is how to kill the offset error.

If you killed the offset error, and if it is a linear system, then there is the equivalent of an integrator, or there is infinite gain.

I'm not going to sift through your page to find your error.
