Aims
To familiarize students with a range of classical control and modern design methods as well as provide motivation for the use of feedback control.
Learning Outcomes
At the end of this module, the student will be able to: 1. Recognise the utility of feedback control 2. Relate the position of a system’s closed-loop poles to its step response 3. Design output feedback controllers using PID and lead-lag design 4. Design state-feedback controllers using pole placement and optimal control
Time Allowance for Constituent Elements Lectures Class Tests (3 x 1hr) Assignment tutorials (10 x 1 hr) Assignment (1 x 10 hr, 1 x 14 hr) Independent study Semester Examination

Indicative Syllabus Introduction to Control and Review of Key Results from System Dynamics Properties of Feedback Systems – Sensitivity and Disturbance Rejection Time Domain Performance of a Control System o Characteristics of a second order system, s-plane roots, dominant poles, stability Closed Loop Analysis Using Root Loci and Nicholls’ Charts Frequency Domain Stability Analysis o Nyquist Stability Criterion (+ Bode) Bode Plot Compensator Design o Design of Lead Compensator PID Control o Design concepts, tuning rules, advantages / disadvantages State-space control design o Pole placement o Optimal control
Assessment Criteria Semester Examination Assignments Class Tests (3)
60% 25% 15%
Penalties: Class tests cannot, in general, be repeated. Late submission of assignment will be subject to a penalty of 10% of the assessment grade for each day (or part thereof) overdue. Pass Standard and any Special Requirements for Passing Modules: Pass 40% - students are not required to pass the written and continuous components separately - an overall pass mark of 40% is acceptable. Requirements for Autumn Supplemental Examination: The continuous assessment mark (class tests, assignments) is carried forward to the Autumn examinations as there is no facility available for repeating the continuous assessment components of the course. Continual Assessment Results: Assignments and class tests will be corrected within two weeks, where that does not extend past the end of the semester. Results, corrected assignment reports and corrected class test scripts will be available for viewing upon request. Assessment Philosophy The class tests and assignments all contain elements that are designed to assess all of the learning outcomes. All questions on all class tests are compulsory. The final examination paper also assesses all learning outcomes. This paper contains a compulsory question that covers all aspects of the syllabus.
