A plant has a nominal model given by

G_{o}(s)=\frac{2}{(s + 1)(s + 2)}    (7.3.9)

Synthesize a PID controller which yields a closed loop with dynamics dominated
by the factor s² + 4s + 9.

The controller is synthesized by solving the pole assignment equation, with the following quantities

A_{cl}(s)=(s² + 4s + 9)(s + 4)²;      B_{o}(s) = 2;      A_{o}(s)= s² + 3s + 2   (7.3.10)

where the factor (s + 4)² has been added to ensure that the pole assignment equation has a solution. Note that this factor generates modes which are faster than those originated in s² + 4s + 9.
Solving the pole assignment equation gives

C(s)=\frac{P(s)}{s\bar{L}\left(s\right) }=\frac{14s^{2} + 59s + 72}{s(s + 9)}    (7.3.11)

We observe using Lemma 7.2 on page 185 that C(s) is a PID controller with

K_{p}=5.97;    K_{I}=8;    K_{D}=0.93;    \tau _{D}=0.11    (7.3.12)

An important observation is that the solution to this problem has the structure of a PID controller for the given model G_{o}(s). For a higher order G_{o}(s), the resulting controller will not be, in general, a PID controller.
