Course contents
The course consists of a project, where the students design and implement a control system on a physical system. Given specifications should be satisfied. The work can be divided into three phases:
- Physical and experimental modelling;
- Controller design, analysis and simulation;
- Implementation in a real time control system;
- The work is done in small groups and is documented in a report and an oral presentation at a seminar.
Intended learning outcomes
The student should after the course be able to work in control related projects. He/she should be able to do modelling, control design, analysis and implementation of a control system for a laboratory process.
In particular, the students should be able to:
- Do collaborative work in a group.
- Write a project plan
- Model and simulate a laboratory process
- Design a control system that meets given specifications
- Implement the control system in a real time computer system like LabView
- Give oral project presents the project and design a poster
- Write a project report.
