Unit Code: EEB722

Unit Name: Control Systems

Description: An electrical engineer will encounter various challenges relating to stability, system response, steady state errors and design techniques when designing a control system. In this course you will learn to design control systems that will meet certain design requirements. You will learn how to model systems in time and frequency design, design stable systems with certain steady state error requirements, and apply root locus techniques for control system design including controllers and compensators.

Learning Target Outcomes: On successful completion of this course, students should be able to: 1. Describe the different types and major components of a control system. (WA1) 2. Apply Laplace transform techniques to compute the transfer function of electrical and electromechanical systems, and evaluate the stability of a control system. (WA2, WA5) 3. Analyze, model and select transducers and actuators employed in control systems. (WA2) 4. Investigate and apply the design techniques including Root locus, Nyquist plot, and Bode plot. (WA4) 5. Design, implement and test controllers and compensators via root locus technique and write PLC ladder logic for typical industrial control problems. (WA1, WA3)
