About

About the course

Course content

Linear differential equations. State space representation. Transition matrix, decoupling, canonical forms. Linear approximations of nonlinear processes; linearisation. Block diagrams. Laplace transformation. Root loci. Responses for some typical processes--time- and frequency response. Stability of feedback systems, stability criteria. Frequency domain based synthesis of feedback systems: Servo control, process control with rejection of disturbances. P, PI, PID controllers, other serial controllers. Cascade control. Feedforward control. Basic discrete (digital) control of continuous systems.

Learning outcome

Control Systems includes mathematical modelling and control of physical procesess (machines, vehicles, chemical processes, power plants) -- any system that moves in time. The topic is a basic course in control theory, which is applied to a selection of examples.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures, computer exercises and calculation exercises. There are eight calculation exercises, four of which have to be approved. Also three compulsory computer exercises in two-student groups, using MATLAB and Simulink. If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may change from written to oral.
