Exercise

Lecture: Logical and sequential control [Literature: Logical control functions (from a planned book on control), except Ch. 6.5. Introduction to State Diagrams] [Web page]

Exercise

Exercises (continued work on previously given exercises) with teacher present for advice. (No lecturing.)

Lecture: Various industrial control principles: Cascade control. Ratio Control. Control structures for industrial plants [Literature: Ch. 9.2, 9.3, 9.5 in control_structures.pdf (which is an extract from PID Control)] [Web page] Several students has commented that the curriculum is too large in this course. I agree, so the planned topic of Lesson 8 is removed from the curriculum.
