 To impart knowledge about multivariable control
 To achieve knowledge about discrete systems
 To impart knowledge about digital feedback systems

UNIT I ADVANCED CONTROL STRATEGIES

Feed forward, cascade, dead time compensation, split range, selective and override control; automatic tuning and gain scheduling

UNIT II INTERNAL MODEL CONTROL

Model based control – IMC structure – development and design; IMC based PID control, MPC
