Automatic Control Systems II

The CS II course is the continuation of the CS I course. Its main purpose is to demonstrate the practical value and applications of control systems theory and to provide students with useful knowledge of immediate application. The course is combined with the use of appropriate software to solve automatic control problems. Includes sections: Frequency domain systems analysis methods. Stability in the frequency domain. Design of feedback control systems with Root Locus and Bode Diagrams (Phase-Lead, Phase-Lag, three terms (Proportional - Integral – Differential (PID) controllers). Prefilters. Design of state variable feedback systems (controllability and observability, full-state feedback, observer design, optimal control systems, internal model design).

The purpose of this course is to provide the student with a comprehensive introduction to the theory and applications of Control Systems with emphasis in design.

The student will deal with the simulation of physical systems on a computer and finding the proper controller through assignments and solving selected exercises.

In addition, the student will complete a series of selected laboratory exercises covering all the different types of compensators in control systems.

Upon successful completion of this course the student will be able to:

1. Identify and describe the different types of compensators.
2. Understand and explain their operation in the closed loop system.
3. Analyze and design a control system (via transfer functions and state equations).
4. Compare and evaluate the designed control system based on set design specifications.
5. Implement compensator circuits.
6. Implement experimental devices in the laboratory and analyze their operation.
7. Simulate on PC and explain the operation of control systems.
