The course covers time-controlled, event driven and hybrid control. Time-controlled regulation: modelling and analysis of sampled systems, computer implementation of control systems, properties and limitations of implementation platforms. Event-driven control real time operating systems, scheduling, modeling of computations. Hybrid control: models, dynamic properties, verification. In particular, the following is treated
• Digital implementation of analogue controllers, computer coding for implementation
• Analysis of basic properties, such as stability, controllability, observability for sampled systems
• Analysis of limitations of embedded control systems, such as quantisation and communication limitations.
• Analysis of basic properties of event-driven control systems
• Simple dynamic modelling of real time systems
• Motivate hybrid systems as a general modeling tool for embedded systems
• Analysis of dynamic properties of hybrid systems
• Verification of design specifications for a hybrid system
• Application of the course content in several fields of engineering.
EL2450 Hybrid and Embedded Control Systems 7.5 credits
Hybrid and Embedded Control Systems is a course on analysis, design and implementation of control algorithms in networked embedded and autonomous systems. Sensor, actuator and computer nodes are connected over a communication network in such control systems, which are found in emerging applications in robotics and autonomous systems, automotive engineering, consumer electronics, industrial control, mobile communication, power systems, smart buildings, transportation system etc.
