Aims
This unit introduces the students to control systems and industrial automation. This unit will aim to provide understanding of a range of control systems that are used in industrial and domestic environments and enable them to produce specifications for mechatronic products thereby obtaining the ability to design and implement simple automated systems in industrial context.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Identify the instrumentation systems and regulating units.
2.
Demonstrate an understanding of the process control concepts, systems and
controllers.
3.
Solve problems related to block diagrams, system mathematical modelling, time
response, PID, S plane.
4.
Demonstrate the knowledge of application for control systems using software
simulation.
