Brief description

This module examines control systems that go beyond the standard structures covered in the basic lecture. In addition to continuing with the methods from the basic lecture, the focus is particularly on state control and digital implementation.

Teaching and learning outcomes

  1. Continuation of frequency domain methods
  2. Root locus curve (design rules, design procedure)
  3. Complex control systems (controllers with two degrees of freedom, disturbance feedback, anti-windup, cascade control, etc.)
  4. State control
  5. Sampling control (discrete analysis and synthesis, z-transform)
  6. Outlook on modern control engineering methods

Practical course accompanying the lecture

Recommended prior knowledge

Structure of the control loop. Laplace transform and frequency response as fundamental tools for the analysis and synthesis of control loops.

Those interested in this module are advised to refer to the relevant chapters in ‘J. Lunze: Regelungstechnik 1, Springer-Verlag’.

Knowledge Broadening

Graduates have a broad overview of frequency and time domain processes and can apply these techniques to complex systems.

Knowledge deepening

Graduates can compare important processes for systems with concentrated parameters in specific technical applications and also implement them for complex systems.

Communication and Cooperation

Graduates have a broad knowledge of control engineering and are particularly able to communicate with users at the interfaces to the process or information processing.
