Learning outcomes
This course, starting from the fundamental notions given by the course on Automatic Control, aims at giving the main tools for analysis and design of digital control systems, i.e. for the class of control systems in which the control unit is implemented using a digital processor system that manipulates sampled data.
Course contents
Main topics are:
- Digital control loop: components and signals
- Difference equations
- The Zeta-transformation: properties and theorems
- Signal sampling and reconstruction
- Relation between z-plane and the s-plane
- Digital transfer function composition
- Stability criteria for discrete time systems
- Design specifications
- Discretization techniques
- Design controllers using the w-plane
- Design controllers using root locus
- Digital PID controllers
- Placing zeros and poles methods

Teaching methods
During exercise hours, CACSD tools like Matlab and Simulink will be
presented. Students are encouraged to develop and discuss a digital
control system design problem.
Assessment methods
The final exam consists mainly in the discussion of the proposed
project (highly reccomended). It is also possible to give a
standard theoretical oral exam.
