Summary
The Laplace transform and its using in differential equitation solutions; analysis of close-loop control systems and their elements, the mathematical models (differential equitation, transfer function, step and impulse responses) for basic types of controlled systems (proportional, integral, differential); standard PID controllers (their mathematical models and realizations);stability of dynamic systems (Hurwitz and Nyquist criterias), close-loop control system synthesis.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The main goal of the course is to acquaint students with basic concepts in the field of automatic control. Students will be able to determine the mathematical model of the system and plot its characteristics. They will be able to define the basic types of conventional controllers and select a suitable controller for a given controlled system. They will also learn to evaluate the quality of the control process (stability, permanent control deviations, ...). They will get acquainted with selected methods of synthesis of control circuits and will be able to choose a suitable method for specific control circuits.
