The purpose of the course is for students to acquire the theoretical and practical background in Automatic Control Systems (ACS) in both continuous and discrete time and their applications. The course aims to introduce students to the fundamental concepts of Automatic Control Systems. The course covers the following thematic areas: (a) Description of continuous-time systems in the form of transfer functions, (b) Analysis of transfer functions: Calculation of characteristic system metrics in the time and frequency domains, (c) Design of closed-loop systems PID controllers, (d) Design of closed-loop control systems using the Ziegler-Nichols empirical method, (e) Analytical design of closed-loop control systems using the pole placement method: Design in continuous and discrete time, (f) Calculation of steady-state errors and system type for closed-loop systems. The course is accompanied by laboratory-type applications via the MATLAB and Simulink simulation environments. Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of the course, students should be able to utilize the acquired knowledge to: (a) Analyze and study the behavior of a linear dynamic system, (b) Design controllers and study their impact and performance on the response behavior of the closed-loop system. |
