This is a course on the design of multivariable control systems,
using "modern control" methods. An emphasis on the design
of controllers which are applicable to modern industrial systems
will be made.
The lab also introduces real-time computer control.
Examples of multivariable systems occur in virtually all aspects
of industry and society, e.g.
traffic light control
nuclear reactor control
aircraft control
jet engine control
satellite attitude control
load and frequency control
distillation column control, .......
For example, in Toronto, all of the traffic lights are controlled,
using a multivariable "decentralized controller" ; in this case the
'plant' has many hundreds of inputs and outputs all of which are to be
controlled and not just one input/output, as was considered in ECE311S.
The prerequisite is ECE311S, which deals with single input/single output
control systems.
This is an exciting course. Have fun!

HOMEWORK
A number of homework problems will be assigned, typically one every two weeks. These assigments are due at the end of each two week period. Other problem sets (+ solutions) will be given out for practice.
TUTORIAL
There is a tutorial scheduled for each student once every two weeks. The tutorial typically will cover problems associated with the homework assigments, or lectures.
LABS
While the lectures treat analog control, the labs are complementary, emphasizing digital control. ( The goal is to introduce you to real-time digital control). The lab manual containing the experiments etc. are given in Lab_revised_2003,init1.m_revised_2003,control1.mdl_revised_2003 and Report_template_2003 below. There are three experiments lab#0, lab#1, lab#2 of which only lab#1, and lab#2 experiments are to be submitted for grading.
