The module provides a grounding in control systems modeling and analysis, using engineering mathematical techniques. It concludes with examples of control systems design, underpinned by the modeling and analysis that precedes and informs the design. Syllabus: Control systems: what they are, examples of control systems, open-loop, and closed-loop control systems, block diagrams of continuous (analog) and discrete-time (digital) control systems, system equations, differential equations, difference equations, linear and non-linear systems, free response, forced response, total response, steady state and transient responses, second-order systems, linearity and superposition, Laplace transform and its inverse, properties of Laplace transform, pole-zero mapping, application of Laplace transform to model systems, Routh-Hurwitz stability criterion, transfer functions and properties, analysis and design of feedback control systems, Bode analysis and design, Root-locus analysis and design, steady-state error analysis, introduction to advanced topics in control systems.

This module introduces the principles of control systems, particularly in respect of electronic systems. It covers: - feedback systems - modeling dynamic systems - the steady-state response - frequency response and s-plane analysis for the transient response - control of digital systems (sampled data systems) - use of the z-transform.
