This subject covers control theory and its applications with a particular focus on digital systems. Topics include modelling of continuous and discrete-time systems, sampled data control systems, closed-loop systems, stability analysis, and controller design. In this subject, students apply computer-aided design tools to the simulation of control systems and the design of controllers. Students also learn to use Programmable Logic Controllers.
Learning Outcomes
- Develop appropriate system models to enable the control theory analysis of physical systems;
- Analyse the behaviour of sampled-data systems in the context of control and automation;
- Analyse the behaviour of closed-loop digital control systems with consideration of issues such as stability, error, and time response;
- Design digital control systems utilising common design tools and computer-aided methods;
- Implement control and automation programs on typical industrial hardware such as programmable logic controllers.
