control system is to identify what can be automated It will help if you have an understanding of basic hydraulics, pneumatics, mechanical operating mechanisms, electronics, control sequences, etc and a solid knowledge of the operation or process that you are going to automate You should understand how to control motion and movement, regulate

Control Engineering: Control engineering or Control systems engineering is based on the foundations of feedback theory and linear system analysis, and it integrates the concepts of network theory and communication theory It is the engineering discipline that applies control theory to design systems with predictable behaviors
Control theory is a relatively new field in engineering when compared with core topics, such as statics, dynamics, thermodynamics, etc Early examples of control systems were developed actually before the science was fully understood For example the fly?ball governor developed by James Watt to control
Understand the purpose of control engineering Examine examples of control systems Understand the principles of modern control engineering Realize few design examples Textbook 1 Richard C Dorf and Robert H Bishop, Modern Control Systems, Prentice Hall, 2001 1 1 INTRODUCTION Control engineering is based on the foundations of feedback theory and
Chapter 10 deals with control systems design in state space The discussions include pole placement, state observers, and quadratic optimal control An introductory dis-cussion of robust control systems is presented at the end of Chapter 10 The book has been arranged toward facilitating the student’s gradual understanding of control theory
