Further information on descriptions Description: Aims:
To give students a basic understanding of a wide range of analogue control system design techniques. To introduce students to the design processes by taking a requirement through to a prototype device.
After completing this unit, students should be able to: write a design specification for a product; carry out a top-down systematic design; identify and specify interface requirements for sub-systems; design forward path and feedback path analogue control systems; design unity feedback controllers; demonstrate an appreciation of how assumptions about the system model can affect the effectiveness of the design solution.

Learning Outcomes:
On successful completion of this unit students will have demonstrated the ability to: model the dynamic behaviour of simple electromechanical systems using Laplace transforms; analyse and predict the steady-state and transient response of a number of analogue control schemes; use root-locus diagrams to estimate transient response, stability and controller robustness; select closed-loop-controller form and characteristics to meet a target specification.

Skills:
Problem solving; systematic mathematical modelling and analysis, independent tutorial problem solving, working on experimental systems in lab groups, implementing and observing practical control systems. Taught, facilitated and tested.

Content:
Basic electromechanical system modelling, features of open-loop and closed-loop control, block diagram representation and manipulation, Laplace transform analysis and transfer function derivation, steady-state error, dynamic-response performance measurement, system-stability assessment, root-locus method.
