A second-year subject in the Graduate Diploma in Computer
Systems Engineering.
Subject aims
The aim of the subject is to reinforce the fundamental
principles of closed loop control systems and to introduce
the concept of discrete time control. To develop time and
frequency domain techniques for the analysis of continuous
and discrete time systems and to study the criteria for
stability.
Subject description
System modelling:
Derivation of a differential equation to describe the dynamic
behaviour of a continuous time electromechanical system.
The use of transfer function techniques and state variable
techniques to analyse the performance of a system.
Derivation of a difference equation to describe the behaviour
of a discrete time system and the use of Z-transforms and
state variable techniques as analysis tools.

A second-year subject in the Graduate Diploma in Computer
Systems Engineering.
Subject aims
To review the design techniques used to design a closed
loop control system to meet a set of specifications. To
extend the design techniques to discrete time control
systems and to develop computer algorithms to emulate real
time compensators and filters.
Subject description
Specification of performances from a time domain and
frequency domain point of view. Steady state error and
parameter sensitivity. Classical and state space techniques for
designing lead, lag and PlD controllers or feedback
compensators, including low pass filters for reduction of the
noise content of signals.
The above techniques applied to a discrete time control
system. Software compensator; to perform the PID task and
to behave as a low pass filter.
Modern application of digital control of an induction motor
driven by a variable frequency inverter.
