AUTOMATIC CONTROL

To give the main concept on the basis of analysis and design of control systems with particular reference to feedback control systems.

Knowledge and understaning

Main topics are: Properties of feedback linear control systems; Design of controllers; Digital control; The course includes also laboratory exercise by using computer tools for the design and analysis of control systems.

Applying Knowledge and understaning

At the end of the course the student will know how to design and analyze single input single output linear feedback control systems.

The student will be able to analyze linear control systems single input-single output and to design analog and digital feedback control systems.

The course is mainly done by lectures. Part of the course is by exercise by using personal computers and design software as MATLAB.

Should teaching be carried out in mixed mode or remotely, it may be necessary to introduce changes with respect to previous statements, in line with the programme planned and outlined in the syllabus.
