Control systems is an interdisciplinary field with a broad range of applications from
vehicles to robots and process control systems. This subject will focus on the practical
implementation of the control theory in real-world applications. The first half of
the subject will introduce the basics of the classical control theory, including representation
of physical control systems, modelling of closed-loop systems, and control system
analysis and design using time and frequency techniques. The second half of the subject
will cover practical industrial control systems. Students will design and tune common
algorithms such as proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers. The subject
will also cover the design and implementation of control systems using programmable
logic controllers (PLCs).
Learning Outcomes
- develop control systems models of physical systems, including block diagrams and transfer
functions;
- analyse the time and frequency characteristics of a control system and use time and
frequency response techniques to assist control system design;
- develop simulations of control systems and apply simulation methods to the analysis
and verification of the control system design;
- understand the communication links involved with PLC systems, the protocols and networking
methods;
- design and develop programmable logic controller software using industry standard
languages.
