2.
Develop models for simple dynamic plant with appropriate software.
3.
Demonstrate ability to design controllers and analyse system stability.
4.
Simulate control systems with appropriate software and assess system performance.
5.
Demonstrate understanding of system components and controller realisation.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Introduction: control system structure including sensors, controllers, actuators and plants.
Matlab/Simulink
Modelling & Simulation: introduce transfer function models for different plants, how to use Matlab/Simulink to model a dynamic system, how to simulate a control system with Matlab/Simulink for system analysis and performance assessment.
Integration algorithms, State Space representation
Time response analysis: characteristics for first order and second order systems, response to step and ramp input.
Controller design: design specification in time domain, functions of P, I and D control, empirical controller parameter setting method.
Industrial control: implementation of PID controllers, proportional and derivative kicks, integral controller wind-up and anti-wind-up method.
Control system hardware design.
Block diagram analysis.
Stability: concept of absolute and relative stability, stability analysis.
Computer packages will be used to gain experience in applying and simulating techniques.
Module Overview:
This module aims to develop your understanding of the modelling, application, design and analysis of control systems with Matlab/Simulin. You will learn to demonstrate an understanding of the basic concepts of dynamic system response and closed loop control, alongside the developing ability to design controllers and analyse system stability.
