Control Systems 1 ENG331

Hobart

Introduction

This unit gives students a basic understanding of the fundamental principles involved in the modelling and control of linear systems. The topics to be covered will include: Introduction to control systems, mathematical models of systems, state variable models, feedback control system characteristics, the performance of feedback control systems, the stability of linear feedback systems, frequency response methods, stability in the frequency domain, and the design of feedback control systems. Assessment tasks in this unit include two written tests and one exam, and four laboratory reports which will combine both written and oral communication of students’ practical learning experiences. Students who successfully complete this unit will be able to further their knowledge of control systems in their 4th year and/or use it in the control of simple real-world processes.
