Pre-requisite Courses and Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities

To successfully complete this course, you should be familiar with mathematical models of dynamics system, feedback control systems and mathematic transformation such as Laplace transform.  

A basic knowledge of MATLAB programming is an advantage.


Course Description

This course introduces you to the theories and tools in advanced control systems. You will learn about the concept of controllers such as PID and pole-assignment controllers which are widely used in the process and manufacturing industries. The state-space design methods including state feedback and state observer are also introduced in the later part of this course.
Topics that are covered in this course include: 

Section A: Design and Analysis for Single Input and Single Output Systems
Introduction to mathematical modelling and control systems; Understanding PID controller design and implementation issues; Understanding pole-assignment controller design methods; Understanding frequency response analysis.

Section B: State space design methods.
Control system design using state space models: Background to state space design methods. State feedback controller design. Observer design. State estimate feedback control system design.


Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development

This course develops the following Program Learning Outcomes:

1 High levels of technical competence in the field
2 Be able to apply problem solving approaches to work challenges and make decisions using sound engineering methodologies
 


On successful completion of this course, you will be able to:

  1. develop mathematical models and understand the mathematical relationships between the sensitivity functions and how they govern the fundamentals in control systems.
  2. design and fine tune PID controllers and understand the roles of P, I and D in feedback control
  3. design pole-assignment controller and the specific design procedures
  4. develop state-space models
  5. design state feedback controller and state observer
