Welcome To EE451: Digital Control Systems (DCS)

This document provides an overview and introduction to the EE451 Digital Control Systems course. It outlines that the course will discuss modeling, analysis, and design of systems that use a digital computer as the controller. Some key topics that will be covered include z-transforms, sampling, pulse transfer functions, mapping between s-plane and z-plane, state space analysis and design. Students are advised that homeworks are crucial for success and no late assignments will be accepted.

DCS: Prerequisites

● EE352: Linear Control systems:


– Block diagrams transformations, analysis, Root locus...
● EE302: Linear Systems II:
– Discrete-time signals and systems, sampling,
– Z-Transforms, stability, Discrete-time Fourier..

DCS is mostly about fusing EE352


with EE302

● No required Textbook (lecture notes are


available)
● But a good reference is:
– Digital Control of Dynamic System, G.F. Franklin et al
– Digital control systems
–

About Homeworks

●
Homeworks are crucial to understanding the
course material and hence succeeding.
✗ Homework are to be returned no later that the beginning
of the lecture at due day.
✗ Late homeworks are not accepted.
✗ Homework solution must be written on A4 white paper.
✗Homework problems should be answered sequentially.

UMBB/IGEE EE451: Digital Control systems, Fall 2014 6


DCS: collaboration vs Cheating

● Collaboration is working together for the best result.


– Collaboration in homeworks is encouraged BUT the
solution you return must be your own otherwise IT
IS CHEATING
● Cheating is presenting someone else's work (fully or
partially) as you own.
– Collaboration in exams is Cheating and is forbidden
– Both the person who cheated and one who helped
him are cheaters

DCS: in a nutshell

● Digital control systems are control


●
systems that use a digital Computer as
controller to control some process
●

● Digital Computers?: PC, Workstation, PLC, IPC, PIC,


MCU, DSP, ...

DCS: signals involved

● Continuous-time signals (analog)


– Continuous in time amplitude (ex: plant's input/output)

● But computers cannot deal with CT signals (infinite number of


amplitudes in a finite time interval)
– Time scale must be discretized
UMBB/IGEE EE451: Digital Control systems, Fall 2014 10
DCS: signals involved

● Discrete-time signals: (EE302)


– Discrete in time but still continuous in amplitude
– Converting a CT to a DT signal is called Sampling

●
But computers have only a finite space to store an amplitude
– Amplitude must be discretized (quantized)
UMBB/IGEE EE451: Digital Control systems, Fall 2014 11
DCS: signals involved

● Digital signals:
– Discrete in time and discrete in amplitude.
– Amplitude is stored as fixed length binary number

UMBB/IGEE EE451: Digital Control systems, Fall 2014 12


Control Systems:

● Continuous (Analog) control systems


– Contain of only analog (CT) signals/systems (as in
EE352)
● Sampled-Data Control systems:
– Contain both DT and CT signals
● Digital Control systems:
– Contains both Digital and analog (CT)
signals/systems

DCS: Detailed Block diagram

UMBB/IGEE EE451: Digital Control systems, Fall 2014 14


DCS: Pros (vs ACS)

● Size:
– μProcessors are getting smaller
● Cost :
– μProcessors are getting cheaper
● Immunity to noise:
– easy to transmit digital signals
● Flexibility:
– Easy to reprogram
● Scalability:
– One digital computer for many control loops

UMBB/IGEE EE451: Digital Control systems, Fall 2014 15


DCS: Cons (vs ACS)

● Less easier to analyze and design.


– DCS are hybrid (contains both CT and DT signal)
● ADC introduces errors and noise
– Can be minimized by using better ADCs
● ADC, DAC, and controller introduces time delays.
– Time delays destabilize Control systems
● More complex than analog control
● STILL: Almost all practical CS are Digital

DCS: applications

UMBB/IGEE EE451: Digital Control systems, Fall 2014 17


DCS: Course outline

● Modeling
– Z-transform, sampling and reconstruction, Pulse transfer function,
block diagrams.
● Analysis:
– Mapping from s to z-plane, transient analysis, steady-state
analysis.
● Transform-based design
– Indirect design, direct design in z-plane and w-plane. Deadbeat
control.
● State space analysis and design

DCS: Final advice

● Key to success:
– Learn to love your field
– Study to learn not to the test
