FREE WEBCAST: Control Design in Mechatronic Systems

This three-part webcast will highlight the following topics:
Part 1 – Control System Design: Stability, Performance, Design Approaches
Always ask the question: Why am I modeling?  Modeling is part of the Engineering System Investigation Process which is the cornerstone of modern engineering practice.  It is a procedure an engineer follows to thoroughly investigate, i.e., understand, predict, and experimentally verify, how a dynamic engineering system or device performs, no matter how simple or complex the system may be.  It is an iterative process, as there is a hierarchy of physical models possible.

Part 2 – Modern PID Control System Design
There are techniques and tools to predict model behavior – analytical and numerical - and they are complementary as they both contribute to gaining insight into the behavior of a dynamic physical system.  The importance of modeling and analysis in the design process has never been more important, as design concepts can no longer be evaluated by the build-and-test approach.

Part 3 – Model-Based Control System Design
An automotive application - the electromagnetic valve actuator - is discussed from a modeling and analysis point of view.
