Content: | The weekly sections include the introduction to control systems with presentation of applied control examples from various technical fields. The mathematical model of the physical systems and the ordinary differential equation that governs them are described. Open-closed loop systems. Laplace transform, partial fraction expansion. Zero initial value-zero input response, system transfer function. System transfer matrix. Block diagrams and their transformations, signal-flow graphs. State variables and state differential equations of dynamic systems. Time response of 1st and 2nd order systems, performance indices. Steady-State errors. Simulation of systems with Simulink. Control systems stability, Routh-Hurwitz stability criterion. Root Locus Method. |
Learning Outcomes: | The purpose of this course is to provide the student with a comprehensive introduction to the theory and applications of Control Systems with emphasis in the analysis. The student will deal with the simulation of physical systems on a computer and finding design criteria performance through assignments and solving selected exercises. In addition, the student will complete a series of selected laboratory exercises that implement experimental devices and use Operational Amplifiers (OPAMPs) in the simulation of systems. Upon successful completion of this course the student will be able to: 1. Distinguish the meaning of open and closed loop and to understand the process of feedback and comparison. 2. Develop the mathematical model that describes the physical system to be examined and derive the differential equation that characterizes it. 3. Familiarize himself with the use of the Laplace transform to be able to calculate systems response. 4. Be able to describe a system with the help of the transfer function and state equations. 5. Learn the use of operating diagrams and flowcharts for system representation. 6. Design Root Locus plots. 7. Implement experimental devices and to use operational amplifier circuits (OPAMPs) in systems simulation. General Competences: • Search, analyze and synthesize data and information with the use of the necessary technologies • Individual Work • Teamwork • Design and Project Management |
