Control Basics
! What is common for all these systems? ! A physical quantity has to be maintained at a fixed value (or series of values) ! What information is necessary?
! What the system needs to do ! How well is the system is doing ! What control action keeps maintains the action

Control System Design


! Understand the general schemes that can be used to control a system. ! Understand the system youre trying to control. You need to predict how a system behaves mathematical techniques that involve differential equation solution

Control System Design Steps


1.! System analysis establish requirements (talk to users) 2.! Formal specification of required system performance 3.! System modelling system must be accurately modelled before controller design can commence. Usually a differential equation (some quantity that changes w.r.t. time) 4.! Control algorithm development the controller is developed using the model and standard control theory to meet the specifications.

System Modelling
! Dynamic behaviour of the system ! Linear or non-linear fashion ! System dynamics how its output changes in response to a particular input

Example
! Furnace
F Fuel flow rate (kg/s) E?,)8'/% ! Temp (deg C)

! The temperature of the furnace does not change instantaneously for changes in fuel rate ! Differential equation describes the influence of time on the input response ! Differential equations are derived from first principles
