COURSE AIM
The course aims at learning the students some common methods for how to analyse and design control systems that utilizes a computer for performing the control task.

CONTENTS
The course is based on parts of the second edition of the classic book "Computer-Controlled Systems" by Karl-Johan Åström and Björn Wittenmark. The following subjects are treated: -Introduction of basic concepts. -Sampling of continuous-time signals. -Simulation as a tool for investegating computer-controlled systems. -Mathematical models of discrete-time systems. -Analysis of discrete-time systems. -Disturbance models. -Digital approximation of analog controllers. -State-space design methods. -Pole-placement design based on input-output models (polynomial design). -Pole-placement design for systems with actuator constraints. -Implementation of digital controllers. Laboratory exercises: No.1 Some simulation exercises. No.2 A computer-controlled system for rotation of wire-supported cargo.

TEACHING
The teaching consists of lectures (62%), exercises (18%) and laboratory exercises (20%).
