The monitoring and control of the tank liquid level system are indispensable to the sugar production process. By employing advanced control methods such as state feedback, it is possible to obtain a more precise level of control and improve production quality. In this study, four distinct sets of pole locations corresponding to four distinct weighing factors are determined by the symmetric root locus (SRL). Using the Ackermann formula, pole sets are placed. The most successful set is chosen, and the system's steady-state error is reduced to zero by adding a scaling factor. To evaluate the performance of the proposed controller, simulation results for the proportional integral derivative (PID) controller, one of the traditional control methods, and the proposed full-state feedback controller (FSFC) are compared. Time domain specifications are used to optimize the characteristics of the controllers to give the best performance. Optimized FSFC and PID controllers are benchmarked in terms of rise time, settling time, overshoot, peak time, and tracking error. Although both controllers provide zero tracking error, FSFC was found to be more robust and efficient than the PID controller, as FSFC performed better in all other criteria.
