Control System Formulation & Analysis - Part of Modular Certificate in Control Systems (DEEC1)
About This Course
On completion of the module, the students should be able to:
1. Identify the basic elements of an open loop and closed-loop system.
2. Draw a block diagram representation of a control system.
3. Perform calculations on the use of measurement sensors.
4. List the components used to configure a control system.
5. Apply Laplace transform and inverse Laplace transform in control system analysis.
6. Derive the transfer functions of simple electrical circuits and control systems.
7. Apply block diagram algebra to derive system transfer functions.
8. Predict the transient and steady-state response of a first-order and second-order system.
9. Determine the poles of a system and use it to analyze its stability.
10. Describe the characteristics of various controllers.
11. Apply the simplified Nyquist Stability criterion to determine a control system’s absolute and relative stability.
12. Determine the gain margin and phase margin of a control system.
Learners could apply the skills taught in this module in electrical and electronics areas where control applications are needed. Applications can be in manufacturing, maintenance, operations, production etc.
