Course content
Subject builds up the compact theory of automatic control of analogue linear dynamical systems. Deal with: Input-output and state space description techniques of the controlled objects. Basic time responses and frequency properties of the main types of control systems. Algebra of transfer functions and transformation of the block diagrams. Analytical and frequency criterions of stability. Synthesis of the optimal systems of automatic control with PID controllers particularly for industrial applications.
