Coordinator: Prof. M. C. Good
Prerequisite: 431-103 Electrical Engineering 1, 431-102 Computer Engineering 1, 436-301 Control Systems
Contact: 26 hours of lectures, 13 hours of tutorials and laboratory work
Timetable: Second semester
Objectives:
On completion of this subject students should be able to:
- interface analog and digital sensors and actuators with a mocrocomputer
- program the computer in a high-level language to:
- acquire reliable data from the sensors
- exercise real-time control of the actuators by implementing simple control laws

Overview: Structure of computer-controlled systems.Sensors and actuators: characteristics of some common analog and digital sensors and actuators.
Signal conditioning: amplification and filtering, design of analog interface circuits using op-amps; design of simple logic circuits.
Microprocessors and microcontrollers: review of architectures, instructions and operations; programming for real-time operations, interrupts.
Interfacing: analog and digital I/O, DMA devices.
Data acquisition: sample rates and aliasing.
Digital Control: Implementation of simple control algorithms.
Case studies: motion control with d. c. and stepper motors.
Assessment:
A two-hour examination; tests, assignments and laboratory reports, not exceeding 20 pages
