Control Systems

Course aim

• Introduce feedback control systems and their applications
• Develop skills associated with the fundamentals of modelling, analysis, design and simulation of automatic control systems
• Learn how to design controllers that make systems respond as desired

Course content

CLASSICAL: continuous-time mathematical representation of system dynamics; feedback control; design of proportional-intergral-derivitive (PID) controllers, frequency domain system responses

MODERN: state-space modelling of systems; controller design in state-space

DIGITAL: modelling of systems in discrete-time; analysis and design of discrete-time systems; design of digital controllers in classical and state-space domains
