The principal aim of this module is to give the students a good working knowledge of the tools and techniques for advanced control system analysis and design.
This encompasses linear and nonlinear systems. Linear continuous analysis and design methods include Bode and Nyquist techniques including compensation, root locus and pole placement. With a substantial proportion of industrial control being computer based, the module also aims to introduce students to sampled data systems, digital control system theory and its implementation. The whole is backed up by the use of MATLAB/SIMULINK and its toolboxes for analysis, design and simulation.
