Selection

The selection is based on 1-165 credits.

Course Aim

The course aim is for students to acquire basic knowledge of feedback systems, their design and their use in control engineering applications.
The students should have the skills and knowledge to:

demonstrate knowledge of basic methods and terminology of automatic control and the hardware necessary in a control system
demonstrate a basic knowledge of proven methods for designing controllers.
demonstrate the ability to model and simulate dynamic systems.
using mathematical methods to analyze the static, dynamic and frequency characteristics of dynamic systems.
use standard methods for designing and analyzing controllers.
demonstrate an ability to, in a team, design and implement controllers, as well as evaluate their performance for a real process.
demonstrate the ability to, both orally and in writing, report on the practical work of modeling, design and implementation of closed loop control for a real process.

Contents

Introduction: Examples of modern control systems. Terms and definitions. Models: Differential equations of physical dynamic systems. Control Mathematics: The Laplace transform. Block diagram models. Linearization. Simulation: MATLAB Feedback Control: Properties of Feedback. Steady-state Tracking. PID-controllers. Anti-windup compensation. Stability. Stability criterions. The Frequency-response Design Method: The Bode plot technique. Stability and stability margins. Controller design: Ziegler-Nichols methods. Frequency design methods. Digital Control: Digitization.

Realization

Each course occasion´s language and form is stated and appear on the course page on Luleå University of Technology's website.

The teaching consists of lectures, seminars and lab work. The lectures are pre-recorded and the seminars (voluntary) are held in the form of web meetings. The lab assignments are performed independently in groups of no more than 3 students and the results are demonstrated in writing and orally in a web meeting. The course is given in Swedish.

Examination

If there is a decision on special educational support, in accordance with the Guideline Student's rights and obligations at Luleå University of Technology, an adapted or alternative form of examination can be provided.

Written exam with differentiated grades and approved lab work.

Remarks

This course can not be a substitute for R0002E/SMR051 Modelling and Control.
