Course detail

Control Theory I

FSI-VA1-KAcad. year: 2012/2013

The aim of the course is to provide the students with the sufficient knowledge of control theory.
The first and the second part of the course presents the various principles and techniques used in the analysis and design of linear continuous feedback control systems. Essential principles of automatic control, logical control and PLC systems, linear controllers, control loops, transient response, frequency analysis, stability of systems, controller design.
The third part of the course presents multiple – loop control systems and the fourth part contains multivariable control systems. ...The principles of digital control, sampling process, Z-transform, difference equations, frequency response methods, stability of digital systems are in the fifth part of the course. The last part containts the foundations of robust control of digital systems.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

In order to be awarded the course-unit credit students must prove 100% active participation in laboratory exercises and elaborate a paper on the presented themes. The exam is written and oral. In the written part a student compiles two main themes which were presented during the lectures and solves three examples. The oral part of the exam will contain discussion of tasks and possible supplementary questions.

Aims

...Goals of the course: The aim of the course is to formulate and establish basic conceptions of automatic control, computational models, theories and algorithms of control systems.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Attendance and activity at the seminars are required. One absence can be compensated for by attending a seminar with another group in the same week, or by the elaboration of substitute tasks. Longer absence can be compensated for by the elaboration of compensatory tasks assigned by the tutor.
