GE 706 - Digital Control Systems

3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
The purpose of this course is to provide a sound introduction to the techniques applicable to the analysis and design of digital control systems. Topics include sampling, difference equations, z-transform analysis, signal flow diagrams, digital filters, frequency response, stability analysis, and extensions of controller design criteria from analog to digital systems. (prereq: Laplace transforms and a control systems course)
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
  • Determine the open-loop and closed-loop transfer functions of a system containing a sampler and zero-order-hold
  • Determine the stability of sampled data (discrete-time, DT) systems
  • Design DT system compensators

Prerequisites by Topic
  • Obtain continuous time system time-domain performance specifications
  • Determine steady-state error of continuous time systems for typical inputs
  • Design continuous time, closed-loop, phase-type and PID control systems by root-locus techniques
  • Analyze continuous time systems using frequency response methods: Bode diagrams
  • Demonstrate the effects of discrete-time sampling of continuous signals

Course Topics
  • Sampling
  • Difference equations
  • z-transform analysis
  • Signal flow diagrams
  • Digital filters
  • Frequency response and stability analysis
