The aim of this course is to provide the student with a basic education in terms of control engineering and process engineering. Through practical examples, the student is familiarized with the block scheme representation of controlled systems. After imparting the necessary understanding of the dynamic behaviour of linear systems, the relationship between open-and closed-loop dynamics is elaborated. Attention is paid to the selection and tuning of controllers. Besides the basic single-loop feedback scheme, cascade control and feedforward control schemes are studied as well.
