Course content
1. Automatic control - logic control, continuous control of continuous physical quantities, discrete control of continuous physical quantities - basic concepts and principles. 2. Simple continuous control loop (CL), its components, description of quantities, general properties of controlled systems. Mathematical model of part of the CL and the whole CL. Linearity, linearization methods. 3. The concept of differential equations. Solution of a differential equation. Cauchy's problem. Ordinary differential equation of the 1st order. Separable ordinary differential equation of the 1st order. Linear non-homogeneous ordinary differential equation of the 1st order. Examples of systems described by these equations. 4. Ordinary differential equation of nth order. Basic concepts and properties. Homogeneous linear ordinary differential equation of nth order with constant coefficients. Characteristic equation. Non-homogeneous linear ordinary differential equation of nth order with constant coefficients. Solution methods. Examples of systems described by these equations. 5. Set of ordinary differential equations of the 1st order with constant coefficients. Eigenvalues. Eigenvectors. Stability of solving a system of ordinary differential equations of the 1st order. 6. Laplace transform. Definition and basic properties of Laplace transform. Inverse Laplace transform. Laplace transform table. Solution of ordinary differential equations using Laplace transform. Concept of discrete function, application, definition and basic properties of Z-transformation, Z-transformation table. 7. Transfer function. Description of the basic open and closed CL. Transfer functions and signals in a CL. Block algebra of continuous systems. 8. Description of properties of proportional, integral and derivative members of the CL (ideal, with 1st order inertia, with 2nd order inertia), differential equations, transfer functions, step responses. 9. Description of properties of ideal P, I, D controllers, their combinations, basic properties, differential equations, transfer functions, step responses. 10. Methods of analysis of a continuous CL - feasibility, stability, steady-state control error. 11. Methods of synthesis of continuous CL with PID controllers. 12. Detailed scheme of the discrete CL; principle of operation, continuous quantities, sequences of discrete values, numerical quantities, sampling and shaping term. 13. Discrete PID controllers, interpretation of its individual components, design of a digital controller by the desired model method. 14. Principles of other CLs - multi-parameter, extremal, branched circuits, Smith predictor, with internal model, adaptive controllers, robust control.
