Description
Control Systems is all about plant and processes (systems) how they behave when subjected to certain inputs (system response) and how to get them to do what we want (system control). Control Systems 301 introduces the student to the characteristics of systems commonly encountered in mechatronics.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
Use Laplace transform techniques to predict and interpret second order system response to step and ramp inputs.
2.
Find the steady-state response of a system to a sinusoidal input by the substitution of jω for s in the transfer function.
3.
Use Laplace transform techniques to find the transient and steady-state response of a system to a sinusoidal input.
4.
Use block diagram algebra, especially Mason's theorem, to reduce elementary control system diagrams to canonical form.
5.
Establish system stability or instability by the plotting of poles and zeros on the complex plane
6.
Implement and tune control systems using a PID control strategy.

Indicative Syllabus
Continuous Systems:
Zero and first order system response to step and ramp inputs.
Use of LabVIEW simulation software.
Block diagram algebra.
Basic mathematical models of commonly encountered industrial systems (electrical, mechanical, fluid and thermal) will be developed.
Transfer functions.
Second order system response to step and ramp inputs.
Poles, zeros and stability,
Routh-Hurwitz stability criterion.
Laplace transforms.
Stability, unity feedback and steady-state error.
MIMO systems and disturbance rejection.
Transient and steady-state frequency response.
Indicative Practicals/Projects
Use of laboratory apparatus : inverted pendulum, mass spring damper and flow, level and temperature control with software packages (e.g. Simulink, Matlab, Labview) to investigate the following:
First and second order system parameters.
First and second order transient and steady-state response characteristics
System stability in relation to the location of complex plane poles.
Characteristics of open and closed-loop control.
Mathematical modelling of electrical, mechanical, thermal and fluid systems.
PID strategies and implementation.
