Learning Objectives

  • System Theory

    The course aims at making the students able to:

    - analyse a linear time invatiant system, deriving a state space model and then solving the dynamic equations, also through the Laplace Transform;

    - determine the properties of stability,controllability,observability;

    - write the transfer function and determine the frequency response;

    - design a linear regulator and an observer.

  • CONTROLLI AUTOMATICI

    The module aims to make the student capable of:
    - understand the basics of retroactive control of a linear dynamic system, continuous time and discrete time;
    - analyze the stability of closed-loop systems produced by external disturbances or parametric variations;
    - know the specifications of a control system, both in the time and frequency domain;
    - perform the design of a feedback control systems for a linear time-invariant continuous-time system and performing its discrete-time realization;
    - carry out the project using standard PID type controllers


Course Structure

  • System Theory

    Lessons will be mainly frontal; sometimes personal computer will be used to maximise learning objectives. It will also be used to make numerical exercises and simulations.

    During exercitations some students will be asked to actively participate together wiith the professor, at the aim to stimulte attention and to perform a "sample check" of the real state of the learning status

  • CONTROLLI AUTOMATICI

    Teaching will be done through lectures and using, when necessary, the video-projector and software programs for the simulation of dynamic and control systems. This will serve to reinforce the concepts presented during the lectures.
