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 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
(available) at all times A typical continuous time control system is shown in Figure below (Closed loop continuous-time control system) Discrete time Control System: Discrete time control systems are control systems in which one or more variables can change only at discrete instants of time These instants, which may be denoted by kT(k=0,1,2, )
