Module Aims
To gain an understanding of the application of the tools and techniques applied to the analysis of industrial control systems.
To appreciate the specification and limitations of a range of sensors used in feedback systems.
Basic and fundamental concept of AC/DC systems, single phase, 3-phase system, delta, and star transformation.
Content Summary
• A comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of Open Loop and Closed Loop control systems.
• An appreciation of the benefits of describing systems in the frequency domain and the application of standard Laplace transforms in system analysis
• The use, properties and manipulation of Transfer Function blocks in closed loop (feedback) control system representation.
• Analysing the transient and steady state responses of 1st order system and thus calculating time domain responses to step inputs.
• Analysing the stability and relative stability criteria of closed loop (feedback) systems using techniques which include Bode Diagrams.
• Understanding the importance of sensor accuracy and precision in Closed Loop systems.
• Appreciating a range of typical sensors, including level, flow, temperature, velocity and position measurements and understanding their practical limitations.
• An understanding of classic P and P+I controllers; their advantages and disadvantages; their use in industry and the way they are used to modify system responses.
• AC/DC systems
• Power system network with single and three phase
• Star and delta connection and their transformation in power system
