Remote control of systems over great distance, such as required with robot space probes, may involve relatively large time delays in sending commands and receiving data from the probe. Consider a specific system using proportional control, where the total dead time is D = D1 + D2 = 100 sec (Figure P12.18). The plant is
Gp(s) = 1 / 100s + 1
How large can the gain KP be without the system being unstable?
