1.0 INTRODUCTION TO CONTROL SYSTEM 

Introduction to Control System; Definition for general terms; Block
diagrams; Open loop and closed loop control system; Standard
symbols; Control system diagram; single variable and
multivariable; general cascade pattern control, schematic diagram
and block diagram; control system quality, definition for damping.

2.0 CONTROLLER PRINCIPLE 

Definition for general terms: Types of lagging process; ON/OFF
control. Superpositioned and unsuperpositioned ON/OFF control;
Characteristics of Proportionate (P), Integral (I), Derivative (D),
P+I, P+D, P+I+D; Controller Output graph caused by the
presence of constant, ramp and sinusoidal difference. At least one
example for each of the controllers above.

3.0 TRANSFER FUNCTIONS 

Definition; Laplace Transformation Concept; signal flow graph for
control system block diagram. Example of Laplace application

4.0 STABILITY AND PERFORMANCE TEST

Use of several testing methods to evaluate system stability; system
stability for sinusoidal, step and ramp shaped errors, simple Bode plot,
Bode stability criteria. State the final value theorem to examine the final
value of a system.
