Concept:

KP = position error constant = 

Kv = velocity error constant = 

K= acceleration error constant = 

Steady state error for different inputs is given by

Input

Type -0

Type - 1

Type -2

Unit step

0

0

Unit ramp

0

Unit parabolic

 

From the above table, it is clear that for type – 1 system, a system shows zero steady-state error for step-input, finite steady-state error for Ramp-input and  steady-state error for parabolic-input.

Calculation:

Input = 

It is a parabolic input.

The error coefficient for parabolic input is acceleration error constant.

Steady state error,
