Unit Outcomes: | On successful completion of this unit students will have gained an understanding of the basic concepts and principles related to control systems and acquired the techniques for modelling, analyzing and designing a control system. More specifically they will be able to simplify and manipulate system models for purposes of analysis and synthesis, compute the time response of a system, determine properties of a control system, design a controller to certain specifications, carry out simulations using Matlab and create and implement PLC ladder diagrams to control simple output devices. |
