SWAG合集

Course structure

The five day course includes lectures and hands-on Matlab sessions. All delegates will receive a Certificate of Attendance at the end of the course.

What you will learn

On completion of the course, you will be able to:

• Evaluate and select appropriate modelling techniques for dynamic systems,
• Formulate control methodologies in feedback, feedforward and cascade loops,
• Recognise and critically appraise the key design tools and procedures for continuous and discrete controllers of dynamic systems.

Core content

• System dynamics: Modelling of typical physical systems. Operating point. Linearization. Differential equation representation. State space representation of systems. Laplace transforms. Transfer functions. Block diagrams. SISO and MIMO systems. Time and frequency domain responses of systems,
• Feedback control: Positive and negative feedback. Stability. Methods for stability analysis. Closed loop performance specification. PID controllers. Ziegler-Nichols. Self-tuning methods,
• Enhanced controllers: Cascade control. Feedforward control. Control of non-linear systems. Control of systems with delay,
• Digital controllers: Effects of sampling. Implementation of PID controller. Stability and tuning,
• Advanced control topics: Hierarchical control. Kalman filter. System Identification. Model predictive control. Statistical process control. The use of expert systems and neural networks in industrial control,
• Design packages for process control systems: Examples including Simulink and MATLAB,
• Case studies: Examples will be chosen from a range of industrial systems including mechanical, chemical and fluid systems.

Who should attend

The course will be of particular interest to automation engineers employed in various industries, such as the process, energy, water, oil & gas, pharmaceutical and food industries, who are involved with process automation and control, either in the design or development of control systems, their application, operation and management.
