Summary
This subject is an introduction to automatic control theory. Students will learn the basic definition like closed-loop control system, mathematical models, controllers, stability and synthesis.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Students will be able to :
- describe difference between closed-loop and open-loop control systems
- create mathematical models of linear dynamic systems
- explain PID controllers
- check stability of closed-loop control systems
- tune PID controllers with help of chosen methods
Course Contents
- Introduction to control system,
- Mathematical modeling of dynamic systems,
- Hardware: sensors & actuators,
- Software: Matlab & Labview,
- Dynamic system description: transfer function & state space form,
- System performance: transient response for 1st & 2nd order systems, steady state errors,
- Classical control methods, root locus, frequency response analysis in Bode & Nyquist diagrams,
- Stability analysis: Routh-Hurwitz criterion, stability criterion in Nyquist & Bode diagrams,
- Control system design:
