EE 445 - Control Systems

Institution:

Point Park University

Subject:

Description:

Design of feedback control systems using both continuous-and discrete-time representations. Laplace and z transform techniques for computing time and frequency responses. Stability tests and the use of compensation to achieve stability and improve system performance. Laboratory includes computer simulations and the implementation of a complete software-based control system. Prerequisite: EE 375 (Signals and Systems). Course Objectives Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to: (1) Model linear control systems using both continuous- and discrete-time representations. (2) Determine the response of a linear system using Laplace and z transform techniques. (3) Determine the stability of a system using standard tests such as root-locus and phase-gain margin analysis. (4) Improve system stability and performance using compensation. (5) Simulate control systems using industry standard software. (6) Implement a closed-loop control system using a remote data acquisition and control module, a personal computer, and LabVIEW software. (7) Specify, design, and verify a complete linear feedback control system to accomplish a given task. (8) Document their work in accurate, attractive, and informative laboratory reports.
