PristupačnostComputer Controlled Systems
Course Description
The course begins with definitions of signals and systems, and mathematical models of continuous-time linear control systems. Block diagrams and block algebra are presented. Representation of systems in state-space is described. Computation of continuous-time system responses to input signals (e.g. step, impulse) in described. The Laplace transform is introduced, system transfer function defined, and zero-pole analysis performed. All previous concepts are also described for discrete-time domain, in particular modelling of discrete control systems, and state-space representation of such systems. Finally, a PID controller is introduced for discrete systems, with explanation how to tune PID controller with the Ziegler-Nichols methods, and presentation of some practical aspects of computer controlled systems.
