Contents
Feedforward and feedback control; Fundamentals on signals and systems (repetition); Description of dynamical systems in the time and frequency domains; Frequency response; Control system properties and specifications; Stability; Hurwitz criterion; Nyquist criterion; Bode diagrams; Controller synthesis in the frequency domain; PID control; Cascaded control; Control of systems with time delays.
Learning outcomes
On completion of this module, students should be able to: • Analyze the behavior of linear dynamical systems in the frequency domain; • Design single-input-single-output controllers in the frequency domain; • Control linear systems with time delays; • Have developed an understanding for the application of control engineering methods to real-world applications based on examples and laboratory exercises.
Assessment
Prerequisite: • Submission of at least 65% of the online homework • Successful participation in all lab sessions including short tests (ungraded) Final Module Examination: • Written exam, 90 minutes Permitted aids are two DIN A4 sheets, handwritten on both sides. For calculations, non-programmable calculators are allowed. Any other type of electronic device is not allowed. For successfully completed online homework, a maximum of 10% bonus points can be earned for the final examination.
