Description ​

  1. Sampled 1st and 2d order linear systems.

  1. Synthesis of digital correctors
  • discrete PI correctors (synthesis and implementation) ;
  • polynomial corrector synthesis (compensation).

Learning Outcomes AAv (AAv) ​

  • AAv1 [heures: 10, C1] : Students will be able to model, in the form of a Z transfer function, a closed-loop system comprising a digital corrector, NA (with or without BOZ) / AN converters, and a continuous system to be controlled.

  • AAv2 [heures: 20, B3, C3, D3] : Students will be able to analytically determine the time response of a discrete-time SISO SLIT system when a digital signal is sent to its input, and to determine the main characteristics of this response.

  • AAv3 [heures: 10, B2] : Students will be able to digitise a common analogue corrector (P, PI, PID) using a discretisation strategy and express its digitised version as a Z transfer function or recurrence equation.

  • AAv4 [heures: 20, C1, C3, D3] : Students will be able to synthesise a digital corrector using a frequency method to control a SLIT system in contained time in accordance with the constraints of a specification. The students will be able to validate their corrector with simulation software and criticise the performance obtained

  • AAv5 [heures: 10, D1] : Students will be able to implement and run a digital P, PI and PID corrector on a microprocessor using a programming language such as C.
