This course provides an introduction to the analysis, design, and applications of continuous-time linear control systems. The aim of the course is to develop student knowledge and understanding of control system design. It also aims to help the students apply their mathematical skills and knowledge of control system theory to a number of practical problems. At the end of this course students will be able to model, analyze and design controllers for simple electromechanical systems. Laboratory exercises are aimed at learning tuning methods of PID controller. Extensive use of MATLAB control systems toolbox is also included in this course.
Mid Term Test 25 %
Final Exam 55 %
Laboratory (4) 10 %
Homework assignments (5) 10 %
Policy on homework assignments This course covers in detail the concepts of feedback control systems. This involves extensive analysis of many examples using Matlab. Assignment tells the students what concepts they need to study in detail and gives them the opportunity to practice what they have learned in the classroom. Assignments provide instructor essential feedback on how the concepts are being developed among the students. For these reasons students are expected to complete assignments in time and demonstrate his/her learning by presenting the completed simulation work to the instructor / TA. Only homework presented in time will be graded.
Laboratory for the Engr. 5821 course consists of four-laboratory experiments based on the PID controller design and tuning methods. It is mandatory for students to perform all four experiments. The students may be required to demonstrate a part of their results to the rest of the class and instructor. Students are required to perform the experiments according to the guidelines provided by the instructor in the lab manual. Students are expected and encouraged to modify the experiment guidelines as necessary to reach the goals for each experiment. In the case the guidelines have been modified, the students need to document these modifications in their laboratory manuals. Experiments that have been modified by the students in a successful manner will be given credit towards the course. Students are required to record all experimental data on the space provided in the lab manual. While the laboratory work is done together within your group and working with other groups, the laboratory report reflects your individual effort and your understanding of the work performed in the lab. For this reason, all the students are required to submit individual reports (Lab Manual) for their laboratory work. I expect that the experimental results within a group will be the same. However, the interpretation of these experimental results should reflect your understanding of the subject matter. If the Laboratory report does not meet minimum standards, student will be required to resubmit the report until it meets the requirements. All the students will receive feedback in writing regarding the reports that they have submitted in a timely manner. Laboratory reports will be judged based on technical content as well as professional presentation and appearance.
Experiment#1: Introduction to the MS150 position control system.
Experiment#2: Design of a PID controller for the MS150 DC position control system.
Experiment#3: Design of a PID controller for the PT326 thermal system.
Experiment#4: Design of a PID controller for the speed control of a120V DC motor.
