+ Objectives At the completion of the subject students should be able to build discrete-time models of electro-mechanical systems; and design discrete-time controllers for electro-mechanical systems.
Synopsis This subject addresses the analysis and design techniques used for discrete-time control and the application of discrete-time control to a given electro-mechanical system. The syllabus covers: sampling of continous-time signals; ZOH sampling of continous-time systems; analysis of discrete-time systems; model estimation from discrete samples; stability, reachability, and observability of discrete-time systems; pole placement by state feedback; output feedback, observers; pole placement using input/output methods.
