Synopsis

You will be introduced to analysis and design of a feedback control systems. You will study stability and performance of interconnected systems, using Root Locus and Bode plots. You will design a combination of different controllers using proportional, integral or derivative gains. Furthermore, you will develop a phase lag or … For more content click the Read More button below.

Learning Strategy

In this module the learners will engage in a blend of delivery methods facilitating both individual and collaborative aspects of learning to achieve the specified learning outcomes. In particular, this will require the learner to engage with the VLE materials where the learning is supported by the tutor-led two-way asynchronous … For more content click the Read More button below.
