Control Systems II
Last Updated: 2026-02-05 15:55:01
Abstract
Introduction to basic and advanced concepts of modern feedback control.
Objective
Introduction to basic and advanced concepts of modern feedback control.
Content
This course is designed as a direct continuation of the course "Regelsysteme" (Control Systems). The primary goal is to further familiarize students with various dynamic phenomena and their implications for the analysis and design of feedback controllers. Simplifying assumptions on the underlying plant that were made in the course "Regelsysteme" are relaxed, and advanced concepts and techniques that allow the treatment of typical industrial control problems are presented. Topics include control of systems with multiple inputs and outputs, control of uncertain systems (robustness issues), limits of achievable performance, and controller implementation issues.
