MG7018 - Systems and Control

PREREQUISITE

MG6031 Instrumentation and Control 2

 AIM

To enable students to predict and implement the desired behaviour of industrial control systems.

 LEARNING OUTCOMES

On the successful completion of this course the student will be able to:

1.         Model and evaluate the behaviour of simple industrial control systems.

2.         Apply common analytical and design methods for control systems.

3.         Evaluate the use of controller tuning methods to control systems, under varying load and set point conditions.
