CONTROL SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGIES

INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION ENGINEERING

Educational Goals

The aim of the course is to give to the students an introduction to the techniques employed in industry for the design of a control system, with a particular reference to process and mechanical systems.

Content

Design methodologies for industrial control systems.

Extended Syllabus

Introduction to industrial control

Introduction. Sensors and actuators. Control requirements.

PID controllers

Basic PID control law. The three actions. Ideal, series and parallel forms. Filtering of the derivative action. Set-point weight. Antiwindup strategies. Manual/automatic switching. Digital implementation. Tuning methods. Automatic tuning techniques. Performance assessment. CACSD tools.

Control structures

On-off control. Time-proportional control. Servo valve control. Split range control. Override. Feedforward control. Cascade control. Ratio control. Smith predictor and other dead time compensator schemes. Internal Model Control. Multivariable control (relative gain array, decoupling). Adaptive control.

Introduction to Model Predictive Control

Introduction. Modelling of the process. Objective function to minimize. Reference trajectory design. Examples.

Introduction to fuzzy control

Introduction to fuzzy logic. Design of fuzzy controllers. Comparison with classic controllers. Fuzzy supervisors. Examples of application.

Introduction to industrial automation

Supervision. Programmable Logic Controllers. Distributed Control Systems. SCADA systems.
