Course Summary
This subject will introduce you to the principles and practice of feedback control systems, and outlines their role in modern society. You will learn about dynamic system modelling and controller synthesis as two key elements in the development of a modern control system, and the subject will emphasise the usage of transform theory to facilitate both of these elements. This subject will also introduce techniques for the practical implementation of the synthesised controller.
Topics that are covered in this subject include: introduction to feedback, system modelling using Laplace transform and state space representations, non-linear system models, SISO control, prototype controllers based on proportional + integral + derivative elements, root locus techniques, Nyquist and Bode techniques, compensation strategies, feed-forward and cascaded loops, and practical realisation issues.
