About this Unit
This unit is a first course in discrete, single rate sampled linear control systems and introduces the use of a computer as the main control element in a feedback system and as a data acquisition tool in real time. Methods of analysis and design are examined, using s-domain and state space methods, with an emphasis on the practical aspects of designing and implementing digital control systems. Less emphasis on theoretical issues. Direct design and emulation methods are included. Practical laboratory work is included along with the use of Matlab software tools
