INTRODUCTION:
This manual supports the practical sessions of the course “Control Systems” for under-graduate engineering degrees. The manual comprises of 16 experiments which cover software as well as hardware aspects of control systems. The hardware experiments consists of working with platforms like speed and position control of servo motor by using PID controller, Magnetic levitation system, Inverted Pendulums and Vertical Take-Off and Landing. The software based experiments mainly use MATLAB/Simulink. This new edition offers significant improvements from previous manual as it included 2 Open-Ended labs covering a comprehensive portion of the lab. In an attempt to make the students capable of correlating theoretical concepts with physical systems, new experiments have been included in this edition. While writing this manual, the two main focuses were systematic explanation and problem solving methodology.
