Objectives
The course provides the advanced knowledge for the analysis and design of analog and digital control systems. The main emphasis lies on the management of linear, nonlinear and optimal control problems.

Topics
Design of linear stationary control systems based on classical and modern design methods, both in the continuous and discrete time domain, both for siso and mimo-systems. This is followed by a short introduction to nonlinear control systems analysis.
1. Root Locus design of PID-controllers and dynamic compensators
2. Frequency Domain design of PID-controllers and dynamic compensators
3. Digital Control Systems (modelling of sampled signals and systems, z-tranform analysis, practical considerations about direct digital control, implementation of algorithms for digital control)
4. State Space techniques (analysis, multivariable systems, controllability and observability, state-feedback and output-feedback design, introduction to optimal control design)
5. Nonlinear systems (phaseplane and describing functions, stability, introduction to same advanced methods e.g. Liapunov, Popov, circlecriterium)

Prerequisites
Controletheorie (3BaEM - 3BaEa)
