What is Steady State Errors?
When a system reaches a stable condition, the difference between the desired and actual outputs is referred to as steady-state error in a unity feedback control system. It indicates the system’s ability to produce the desired output without any significant deviation. Steady-state Errors can result from several things, such as disturbances, uncertainties in the system or environment, and intrinsic limitations in the design of the control system. The system’s overall performance and capacity to meet requirements can be significantly impacted by these faults. Analyzing the system’s response to various inputs, such as step, ramp, or sinusoidal signals, is required for understanding steady-state faults. Common steady-state error types include oscillatory, constant, and zero errors; each has unique properties and causes.
By carefully choosing the control parameters like gain and time constants and using compensating techniques like integral control to reduce or eliminate the effects of steady-state errors, an effective control system design aims to minimize steady-state errors. All things considered, the study of steady-state errors in unity feedback control systems offers important knowledge about the behaviour of the system, enhances performance, and leads choices for design that improve stability, accuracy, and robustness.
Note: Error Analysis is relevant for closed-loop control systems only.

R(s) is the Laplace transform of the reference Input signal r(t)
C(s) is the Laplace transform of the output signal c(t)
