Reset controllers consist of two parts-a linens compensator and a reset ele
ment The linear compensator is designed, in the usual ways, to meet all clo
sed-loop performance specifications while relaxing the overshoot constraint
. Then, the reset element is chosen to meet this remaining step-response sp
ecification. In this paper, we consider the case when such linear compensat
ion results in a second-order (loop) transfer function and where a first-or
der reset element (FORE) is employed. We analyze the closed-loop reset cont
rol system addressing performance issues such as stability, steady-state re
sponse, and transient performance.
