As a result of a load or set point change, in addition to minimizing the maximum value of the error, what are the two additional objectives of a closed-loop control system?

Correct Answer: Option B — The closed-loop control system should minimize the settling time and minimize the residual error.

Effective closed-loop control aims for stability and precision. Minimizing settling time ensures the system reaches the desired set point quickly after a disturbance, while minimizing residual error (offset) ensures the process variable remains as close to the set point as possible, maintaining optimal operational efficiency and system performance.
