A simple icon, consisting of a series of links surrounded by a circle, is a common symbol for a connection or hyperlink. The lines of the icon are outlined in a dark black color on the background, with the addition of military elements of the Saudi national identity such as the Ghutra, Shamaa, and Saudi Bisht, to reflect the distinctive local character of Qassim University.

Principles of Control Systems

Course Description: Representations of dynamic systems, including: block diagrams, transfer functions, signal flow graphs, and state-space representation. Modeling of electrical and mechanical systems. State variable analysis. Transient response specifications. Steady-state error analysis. Stability analysis using the Routh-Hurwitz criterion. Root locus technique. Bode plots. Nyquist plot. Pole placement technique. PID controller design. Simulation using MATLAB/SIMULINK.
Credit hours: 3
Prerequisites: EE 301
Objectives of the course :

This course introduces students to the fundamental concepts of linear feedback control systems. The course presents the concepts of transient and steady-state response analysis of control systems, and evaluates the stability of control systems using the Routh-Hurwitz criterion. It also teaches methods for designing controllers that achieve the desired behavior of control systems using the root locus technique, the frequency response technique, and the pole placement technique. Students will gain the ability to analyze system stability and design simple controllers to regulate system behavior.

Course outputs :

* Description of the basic concepts of open-loop and closed-loop control systems and their design.
* Creating the mathematical representation of the transfer function, block diagrams, signal flow graphs, and state-space representation of physical systems.
Analysis of the characteristics of electrical and mechanical linear time-invariant (LTI) systems in the time and frequency domains.
* Design of basic controllers such as PID controllers and Lead-Lag controllers in feedback systems to achieve specific performance in transient and steady-state response.
Using MATLAB/Simulink for modeling, analyzing, and designing control systems.
