How can you design more reliable and robust control systems?
Control systems are essential for managing complex and dynamic processes, such as power generation, manufacturing, robotics, and aerospace. However, designing control systems that can cope with uncertainties, disturbances, and failures is a challenging task that requires careful analysis and testing. In this article, you will learn some basic principles and methods for improving the reliability and robustness of your control systems, and how to apply them to different scenarios and domains.
-
Stress testing and FMEA:Conducting stress tests and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) ensures your control systems can withstand extreme conditions and helps pinpoint potential failure points. This proactive approach can save you headaches down the line.
