Abstract
When teaching digital control course, it s found that students are often struggling with understanding the connection between the underlying mathematics for various control algorithms and their implementation. In particular, the effect of the control algorithm on system seems to be a mystery. Matlab simulation is able to help students better understanding the control system and building up confidence in the effectiveness of the controller. However, simulation alone is not able to get rid of questions such as “is it really going to work on real system?” or “how is it going to work in real-life?”. This paper describes the integration of real-time experiment solutions into the digital control course offered in the School of Engineering at University of British Columbia Okanagan and gives detailed presentations on real-time implementation of digital control algorithms. In particular, implementation of LQG will be demonstrated. The impact on teaching and learning will also be discussed.
