2. year students in Cybernetics, Telematics, Computer Engineering
The students shall learn:
1. Basic theory and methods of feedback control systems.
2. PC-based control systems.
3. Computer communication at the process- and instrumentation level.
1. Physical balance laws and mathematical modelling of dynamic systems. Simulation and analysis in the time domain.
2. State space models. Diagonalisation and eigenvalues. Control canonical form and observer canonical form.
3. State space design: Time domain spcifications: Rise time. Overshoot. Settling time.
The control law. Pole placement with full state feedback. Use of Butterworth polynomials for pole placement. Ackermanns formula.
4. Estimation with Least squares method. Observers and reduced-order state feedback. Optimum control.
5. Classical analysis and design: Transfer functions and frequency response. PID-compensators in the time domain and the frequency domain. Stability. Frequency response desigm. Discrete PID-compensators.
Classroom lectures 4 hours/week.
Excercises in computer lab. 4 hours/week: Process simulation with Simulink. Analysis and design of control loops with Matlab.
Project work in groups of 2-4 students: Realisation of control loops with LabView. Distributed control and monitoring over Internet with Datasocket.
3 hours individual written examination which counts for 50% of the grade.
1 project in groups of 2-4 students counting for 50% of the grade.
Both examination and project must be successfully completed to fulfill the course.
