Content
Topics covered will include sensors and transducers, their application to force, pressure, displacement, and temperature measurements. Process and instrumentation diagrams, process characteristics, examples of control loops, feedback and feed-forward control, dynamic behaviour of low-order, higher-order systems and nonlinear systems, modelling of industrial processes including least square methods and Kalman filter for estimations, system identification technique to construct linear, nonlinear or complex system dynamics are taught. On top of that, implementation of control algorithms, discrete time control, optimal control, discrete finite-time control (dead-beat control), fundamental concept of robust control theory, and robust sliding mode control for high-order uncertain nonlinear industrial systems are part of the rich content of this advanced unit.
