Control Systems 2 ENG744
Introduction
Introduction to fundamentals of control designer concepts. Signal flow graphs will be covered with focus on cascade, parallel, controller canonical, observer canonical and phase variable forms. Frequency domain (PID) designs will be covered using a root locus to improve steady state errors and transient responses. Both cascade and feedback compensators will be considered along with the effects of both major loop and minor loop feedback configurations. Physical realisable systems for these configurations will then be shown. Time domain (state space) controllers will be used to determine pole placement strategies. Controllability and observability concepts will be introduced along with their respective transformation matrices. Feedback controllers using phase-variable, controller canonical and observer canonical forms will be discussed. State space integral controllers to improve steady state errors in time domain design will be shown. The z-transform will be discussed using basic sampling (ADC/DAC) concepts. Deriving a pulse transfer function using phantom samplers will be shown. Digital controller design concepts will be shown by mapping to the z-plane. Investigating the stability and other applications through proper selection bilinear transformation techniques. Digital controllers will be designed to meet a specified desired response using the root locus.

Note
Please check that your computer meets the minimum System Requirements if you are attending via Distance/Off-Campus.
Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.
