Control System Design
Concerning my undergraduate final project, I am to design a controller. First things first, let me share you a little bit of what I’ve learned about the process and methods for designing a control system. This post also serves as a parameter for my progress documentation of the project.
The process of designing a control system usually makes many demands of the engineer or engineering team. These demands often emerge in step by step design procedure as follows:
- Study the system (plant) to be controlled and obtain initial information about the control objectives.
- Model the system and simplify the model, if necessary.
- Analyze the resulting model; determine its properties. Read the rest of this entry »

The event was fun, educative, and most of all memorable. Some of friends are to graduate next July, there’s a possibility that we wont be meeting each others for a while and maybe for a long time, so the excursion event was also purposedly intended for our last time “going out and hanging out” together as college students. Good luck guys, my prayers are with you.
January finally passed and then came along Read the rest of this entry »
