Learning outcomes

After successful completion of the course, students are able to

  • identify and analyze potential applications and task of automatic control.
  • examine the properties of linear systems and use linear systems to approximate nonlinear systems locally.
  • choose appropriate controller design methods for linear systems (loop shaping, state space methods) and apply them to examples.
  • evaluate the performance of designed control systems.

Subject of course

Introduction to continuous-time and discrete-time systems, the concept of state, linearity, time-invariance, state transition matrix, Jordan canonical form, equilibrium points, linearization (around an equilibrium and a trajectory), asymptotic stability of an equilibrium, input-output representation (transfer function, transfer matrix), realization problem for SISO-systems, frequency response (bode plot, nyquist plot), BIBO-stability (Routh-Hurwitz-, Michailov-, Nyquist-criterion), the concept of closed loop versus open loop, performance considerations, internal stability, asymptotic tracking, disturbance rejection, one- and two-parameter feedback systems, cascade control loops, design of control systems in the frequency domain: loopshaping technique (P-, I-, PD-, PI-, PID-, Lead-, Lag-compensator, Notch-filter), reachability and observability (reachability and observability matrix, PBH test, reachability and observability Gramian, Markov parameter and Hankel matrix), design of control systems in the state-space: pole-assignment (formula of Ackermann), observer design (trivial observer, full state Luenberger observer), duality principle, separation principle, implementation of digital controllers

Teaching methods

online lecture via ZOOM in the TUWEL course, presentation of examples during the lecture, prepared exercise classes (online or attendance), voluntary bonus exercises

Mode of examination

Written

Additional information

  • Preliminary discussion during the first lecture
  • Exercise course starts in November 2021
  • Used software: Matlab/Simulink + Control System Toolbox, computer algebra program MAPLE
  • Guidelines for the exercise course:
    Exercises are available on the homepage. Both attendance and preparation of the exercises is not compulsory. During the online exercise classes, we will discuss possible solution strategies and the relevant theoretical basics.  Bonus points for the written exam can be gathered by solving additional examples for selected exercise classes.
  • If there are any questions with the bonus points feel free to contact automatisierung376000@acin.tuwien.ac.at or if you have special request to a lecturer contact them personally via eMail.
  • Online exams: In case regulations of the federal government or the TU Wien prohibit exams on site, the exams will be held in an written online form. Guidelines on written online exams can be found on the homepage. Random checks can be performed within 2 weeks after the written exam to verify its originality and plausibility.
