Classical methods of lead-lag networks and PID controllers
from root locus and frequency domain approach.
Commercial packages and PLC's.
Algorithms suitable for compensation using computer based
control systems.
State variable feedback and design of continuous and discrete
time multivariable control systems to meet a set of
specifications.
Advanced topics of adaptive control and optimisation.
