SYS 674 - Digital Control Systems

(4 credits)

Theoretical foundation needed to implement the microprocessor in control applications. Effects of sampling, data conversion, quantization, finite word length and time delays on system response and stability are examined. Pole-placement and observer/estimator techniques. Actual construction of a microcomputer-based controller culminates the course. Offered winter.

Prerequisite(s): Student must meet prerequisite (SYS 520 or ECE 520).
