The main goal of the course is to understand, model and control industrial processes. Within this context the course aims to equip the students with tools and techniques for the mathematical modeling of processes from different areas such as mechanical, electrical, thermal, fluidic, biomedical. The students are also equipped with knowledge related to the design of PID controllers through various analysis and design methodologies. Within this context, students aim to acquire the necessary knowledge for the analysis and modeling of pure time-delay, distributed parameter systems and different controller architectures such as cascade, disturbance feedforward, feedforward-feedback and Internal Model Control. The laboratory work of the course aims to give the student practical experience with physical instances of such systems as well as the ability to conduct experiments and measure performance variables.
