Systems Analysis and Control (H6104)
Systems Analysis and Control
Module H6104
Module details for 2021/22.
15 credits
FHEQ Level 5
Module Outline
Systems Analysis and Control provides an introduction to fundamental systems analysis and control topics, which help you understand how a control system works and how a system should be analysed. The students will learn how to develop mathematical models and analyse dynamical systems and how to design control systems for particular applications in this module.
Topics include:
- Transfer functions, block diagrams
- Modelling of mechanical and electrical systems
- Systems dynamics, first and second-order systems
- Stability analysis
- Frequency response
- Root locus method
- Control systems design, introduction to PID control
- State space equations
Examples of the wide application of control theory to examples of engineering systems requiring feedback control will be given such as for the control of robot arm positioning and engine speed regulation.
