Course title: Automatic Control Systems

Code: FEIT01Z002

Number of credits (ECTS): 6

Weekly number of classes: 2+2+1+0

Prerequisite for enrollment of the subject:

Course goals/Competences: The purpose of this course is to familiarize students with the basic systems of automatic control, models of automatic control systems. Upon successful completition of this course students will be able to recognize and identify the systems, they can analytically model and analyze their properties using computer tools like MATLAB. Students will be able to design simple controls for these systems and analyze the performance of feedback systems managed by these drivers.

Total available number of classes: 180

Curriculum: Introduction: basic concepts and definitions, classification systems, examples of automatic control systems. Mathematical foundations: differential equations, Laplace transform, inverse Laplace transform, transfer functions. Mathematical modeling: the mechanical, electrical and electro-mechanical systems. Block diagrams and characteristics of ACS: algebra of block patterns, flow graph of signals, Maysons rule, linear control laws, and patterns typical of ACS. Performance criteria for ACS and synthesis: accuracy in stationary condition, characterization of the transitional regime, integrated quality criteria. Stability of dynamical systems: stability by Lyapunov, Stability criteria in algebra. Method locus roots. Analysis of ACS in the frequency range. Analysis of ACS in the state space: state variables and state space, obtaining equations of state of differential equations and transmission functions, solving equations of state, the fundamental matrix, characteristic values ​​and characteristic vectors, matrix transfer function. Synthesis of ACS in space sheet: controllability and observability, feedback on the state vector, Observer, square linear regulator. Digital systems management. Synthesis of linear regulators. Application of MATLAB for analysis and synthesis of ACS.
