The course is composed of two independent modules :
Module I : Foundations of System Theory (12 hours lecture + 12 hours exercises)
Module II : Analysis and Control Design of Sample Data Systems (12 hours)
Moreover there will be : Laboratory sessions for a total of 24 hours
Module I - In this module some foundations of system theory are introduced. System theory provides a general framework for the analysis and the control of dynamical systems. In this course the study of Discrete Time Linear Invariant Systems will emphasized.
Module II - This module is devoted to the control of sampled data system. A sample data system is a system that is continuous-time by nature but that is controlled through digital devices (e.g. micro-controller). To do so, the basic properties of sampling and reconstruction will be recalled and their effects on dynamic system detailed. Then, we will overview some of the classical methods to control them. Classical industrial schemes and a few advanced control schemes such as Model Predictive Control will be introduced.
Laboratory - During the laboratory sessions, students will be grouped in teams of 2-4 people. The group composition will be decided by the teaching assistant. Each team will be assigned as soon as possible to one pilot plant and will receive :
- a document containing a description of the plant to control and of the control technology available in the laboratory
- a list of specifications to reach
- a document with some hints on aspects not covered in this course but that can be useful to accomplish the project (e.g. identification), on how to manage the project and a possible template for the report.
Goal of the project is to make the design choices, parameter tuning, simulative and experimental tests so as to develop control schemes able to reach in the best possible way the required specifications.
Course material : Lecture notes, exercises, references and slides are available in the website : http://www.gprix.it/teaching.htm
A detailed guide to the course and to the lab, with all the rules of the course is available.
