This topic covers: introduction to conventional control systems; elements of conventional control systems; modelling of linear time-invariant control systems; block diagrams; standard systems; time-domain system response; frequency-domain system response; control system specifications; system stability and sensitivity; disturbance rejection techniques; system steady-state accuracy; time-domain analysis of control systems; root-locus design techniques; Routh stability criterion; frequency-domain analysis of control systems; Nyquist-diagram design techniques; Nyquist stability criterion; compensation of single-input single-output linear time-invariant control systems in time-domain and frequency-domain; cascade control; feedback control; feedforward control; phase-lead and phase-lag control; lead-lag control; PID multimode control; classical control systems design examples.
This topic aims to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the principles of classical control systems theory and technology as applied to the design and analysis of conventional control systems.
