The goal of reconfiguration is to keep the reconfigured control loop performance sufficient for preventing plant shutdown. The following goals are distinguished:

# Stabilisation goal,

# Equilibrium recovery goal,

# Output trajectory recovery goal,

# State trajectory recovery goal.

Internal stability of the reconfigured closed loop is usually the minimum requirement. The equilibrium recovery goal (also referred to as weak goal) refers to the steady-state output equlibrium which the reconfigured loop reaches after a given constant input. This equilibrium must equal the nominal equilibrium under the same input (as time tends to infinity). This goal ensures reference tracking for stepsteady-shapestate reference signalstracking after reconfiguration. The output trajectory recovery goal (also referred to as strong goal) is even stricter. It requires that the dynamic response to an input must equal the nominal response at all times. Further restrictions are imposed by the state trajectory recovery goal, which requires that the state trajectory be restored to the nominal case by the reconfiguration under any input.

Usually a combination of goals is pursued in practice, such as the equilibrium recovery goal with stability.
