ELEC 444 Modeling and Computer Control of Mechatronic Systems
ELEC 444 Modeling and Computer Control of Mechatronic Systems Units: 3.25
This course provides an introduction to modeling and analysis of the dynamics of mechatronic processes and computer control of such systems. Topics include modeling and simulation of mechanical, electrical, thermal, and fluid systems, sampled-data systems and equivalent discrete system, overview of
Z-transform, dynamic response of second-order discrete systems,
stability analysis and design of linear discrete-time control systems
using root locus and frequency response methods. The modeling
and controller design methods are implemented and tested using MATLAB/Simulink and laboratory experiments.
