Course Description
This course provides an introduction to Digital Control Systems Design, which includes but is not restricted to combinational and sequential logic circuits, hardware description language, microprocessor, micro-controller and digital signal processor architectures, programming and microprocessor interfacing techniques. Sensor interfacing using digital communication network protocols for smart sensors e.g. I2C, SPI, CAN (controller area network) etc. and simple project design, construction, testing and commissioning. Work Integrated Learning (WIL) is delivered to you through the practicals and a project completed in this course.
Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development
This course contributes to the following program learning outcomes:
1.1. Descriptive, formula-based understanding of the underpinning natural and physical sciences and the engineering fundamentals applicable to the practice area.
1.2 Procedural-level understanding of the mathematics, numerical analysis, statistics, and computer and information sciences which underpin the practice area.
1.3. In depth practical knowledge and skills within specialist sub-disciplines of the practice area.
2.1.Application of established technical and practical methods to the solution of well-defined engineering problems.
2.2.Application of technical and practical techniques, tools and resources to well defined engineering problems.
2.3.Application of systematic synthesis and design processes to well-defined engineering problems.
On successful completion of this course you should be able to:
1. Design, construct and test digital control systems.
2. Apply microprocessor programming principles to design microprocessor-based systems with emphasis on digital controllers and sensors using point to point and/or network protocols for smart sensors.
3. Develop computer system design concepts, particularly the relationship between hardware and software on system performance.
4. Apply Microprocessor/micro-controller interfacing techniques to design and construct appropriate interface to external hardware.
5. Develop testing procedures to verify the performance of design specifications, diagnosis of faults in hardware and software and completion of the commission.
Overview of Learning Activities
In this course you will learn through the following activities:
1.Face to Face teaching: to get familiar with theoretical principles of embedded systems, computer architecture, micro-controllers and microprocessors and introduction to the application of these principles to basic problem solving.
2.Personal reading (eg. prescribed sections of the textbook): to reinforce/strengthen your understanding of principles and applications
3.Assignments: to challenge you through application-oriented problems, and will enhance your problem solving skills and solve design problems.
4.Project: to practice the theory learnt and to simulate real workplace like situation.
5.Tutorial and Lab sessions: to understand the key concepts, practical applications and how to analyse results, you are encouraged to use references on special topics available in the Carlton library. The lab work allows you to develop practical skills in working with embedded systems and apply assembly language to micro-controller /microprocessor based systems.
Overview of Learning Resources
Learning resources will consist of recommended references and class notes which may be accessed through "myRMIT”. The set of references is deliberately broad, including books, journal publications, government reports, industry standards and handbooks, and web-based resources.
