ME 390 - Computer Control of Machines and Processes

Institution:

York College of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

Spring Semester This course introduces fundamentals of feedback control of dynamic physical systems with a focus on discrete models of physical systems as one-, two-, and multi-degree of freedom systems. The resulting difference equations are represented in block diagrams and signal-flow graphs comprised of integrators, differentiators, and amplifiers. Open- and closed-loop transfer functions and their relation to system response are also introduced. Attention is given to issues of sample-period selection, stability, and discrete controller design. First- and second-order continuous system responses are studied. Frequency domain methods such as root locus, phase margin, and gain margin are introduced as tools for the design of continuous controllers. Prerequisites: ME252 and ME340. 4 credit hours.
