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.
