Subject outline

This subject presents both the theory of control systems, and their application in an industrial engineering context. An understanding of control systems is an essential tool forthe analysis and design of physical systems. Students first study analytical control systems skills including Fourier analysis, linear systems z-transform, Laplace transform, stability analysis, state-space techniques and frequency response methods. Students will then investigate and apply these skills to a range of real industry related problems using industrial based controllers such asPLC#s, DLC#s and embedded control systems.
