Topic Marks
Introduction
Explain the purpose and operation of the selected plant and its
industrial application. Use a diagram to identify the system
components, measuring instrument, and final control element.
6

Block diagram, and transfer functions for measurement,
plant, etc. using step input
 Draw a detailed block diagram of the closed loop system,
specify input/output to each block, and use transfer functions
obtained experimentally from open loop response inside
each block.
10
Mathematical modelling/ transfer functions from conservation
of energy, mass etc.
 Use appropriate balance equations to obtain transfer
functions for both set-point and load changes.
 Using simulation, compare experimental and theoretical
Transfer functions by use of an open loop test.
20
Controller design, tuning & implementation
 Design a PID controller
 Outline the different controller tuning methods used to obtain
the PID parameters
 Implement the controller and evaluate its performance for
set point and load change
14
Loop stability
