Learning outcome

Knowledge - The candidate is able to:

  • Explain the function and purpose of the individual components in a control loop.
  • Explain the relationships between the different forms of representation such as differential equations, block diagram, transfer function, frequency response and step response.
  • Explain the concepts of steady-state and dynamic deviation, response time / settling time and stability, and how these properties can be specified.
  • Explain the impact of the choice of controller parameters on steady-state and dynamic deviation, response time / settling time and stability.

Skills - The candidate is able to:

  • Perform experimental and mathematical modeling of dynamic processes.
  • Represent dynamic processes using differential equations, block diagram, transfer functions, frequency responses and step responses.
  • Calculate controller parameters for a closed-loop control system.
  • Analyze the properties and performance of a control system.
  • Perform simulations in Matlab and programming in LabView.
