Programme description

  • Introduction

    The course provides basic knowledge and an introduction to control systems

  • Required preliminary courses

    After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills, and general competence: 

    Knowledge 

    After completing the course the student has basic knowledge in control systems, including:  

    • systems represented as differential equations, state-space models and transfer functions 
    • linearization of nonlinear systems 
    • block diagrams and block diagram algebra 
    • basic principles of numerical simulation 
    • stability of feedback systems 
    • basic understanding of PID controllers, including controller tuning with experimental and frequency response methods.  
    • impact of time-delays on the stability of control systems 
    • designing of first order lead and lag controllers 
    • feedforward control and cascade control
    • observability and controllability in linear systems 
    • basic understanding of multivariable control techniques 
    • basic understanding of state estimation and observers  

    Skills 

    The student is capable of: 

    • analyzing simple control systems with regards to stability and performance 
    • designing controllers and state estimators 
    • carrying out numerical simulations of control systems 

    General competence 

    The student: 

    • has an overall, detailed understanding of control systems  
    • Is able to communicate  aspects of control systems to other colleagues and non expert persons 

  • Learning outcomes

    Lectures, exercises and laboratory assignments.

  • Teaching and learning methods

    The following coursework is compulsory and must be approved before the student can sit the exam:

     

    • Four compulsory lab assignment with report, estimated time 4 hours each

  • Course requirements

    Individual written exam, 3 hours

    The exam result can be appealed.

    In the event of a resit or rescheduled exam, an oral examination may be used instead. In case an oral exam is used, the examination result cannot be appealed.

  • Assessment

    A handheld calculator that cannot be used for wireless communication or to perform symbolic calculations. If the calculator’s internal memory can store data, the memory must be deleted before the exam. Random checks may be carried out

  • Permitted exam materials and equipment

    Grade scale A-F.

  • Grading scale

    One examiner. The course may be selected for grading by external examiners.

  • Examiners

    Builds on ELI2300 Dynamic Systems

  • Overlapping courses

    The course has an overlap of 10 credits with KJFP2200, MATS2200 and ELFE2600.

    The course has an overlap of 5 credits with KJTF2311 and KJTF2310.

    Under the rule that students have three attempts to take an exam, attempts in equivalent courses also count.
