Applying Control Systems (2 cr)

Evaluation scale

0-5

Objective

The course applies the theory of control technology to practice also for slightly more challenging control loops. Studying in this course requires knowledge of the basics of control technology, and you will be able to utilize these lessons when working with control loops.

EUR-ACE ENGINEERING PRACTICE
You will be able to design and tune process controls in the event of disturbances, delays, or nonlinearities, and implement feedforward and cascade controls.

Content

Feedforward controls
Cascade controls
Disturbances, delays and nonlinearities
Testing of control loops
