Introduction
Controller design and implementation are essential for all control systems. It is therefore important to learn some fundamental design approaches and implementation schemes. The objectives include equipping learners with such methodologies. Topics such as optimal control design in state space, digital implementation of analog controller design, frequency domain design, direct control design based on pulse transfer function and implementation aspects will be covered.
This course is part of:
- Graduate Certificate in Computer Control and Automation
- FlexiMasters
in Computer Control and Automation
Upon completion, learners should:
1. Understand the principle of linear optimal control and the solution of the discrete Riccati equation;
2. Able to design an optimal controller that optimises a given performance objective function;
3. Able to design controllers based on digitization method, frequency domain approach and direct technique and;
4. Know how to implement digital controllers.
