The course is connected to the following study programs
Teaching language
Norwegian or English.Recommended prerequisites
Recommended knowledge from MA-431-G Mathematics for mechatronics, MAS416-G Modelling and simulation of mechatronic systems, MAS408-G Analog and digital electro technologies.
Course contents
System analysis in frequency domain, control design assisted by frequency responses, limitations and instabilities of SISO control systems, state-space modeling and state-space system analysis, similarity transformations and control design in state-space, design of LQR controllers, observer design and observer-based controllers, introduction to Kalman filtering, integral and robust tracking controls, z-domain and z-transformations, digital control techniques.
Examples and exercises in the subject will be related to electric motor drives, robotic manipulators, and servo techniques based on the valve-controlled hydraulic systems.
Learning outcomes
On successful completion of the course, the student should be able to
-
analyse systems and design feedback controllers in frequency domain
-
analyse systems and design controllers and state estimators in time domain and state-space representation
-
use techniques for design and implementation of discrete control systems
Teaching methods
Lectures, exercises, laboratory exercises, including project work in groups of 3-4 students. Use of Matlab/Simulink software. Estimated work load for the average student is approximately 200 hours.
Evaluation
Course evaluation is carried out as a midterm evaluation in accordance with standard procedure in the quality assurance system, chapter 2.1.1., unless other information is given in the beginning of the semester.
Assessment methods and criteria
4-hour individual written examination (60 % contribution to final assessment), and practical project work with compulsory presentation (40 % contribution to final assessment). Graded assessment.
