Learning outcomes of the course unit
Students will learn basic principles of feedback control theory, which is actively used in commercial control systems and will be able to understand the approaches used in technical practice of feedback control.
Prerequisites
Knowledge of basic terminology in the field of automation. Orientation of differential integral calculus, differential equations included.
Knowledge of software Mathworks Matlab or Wolfram Mathematica.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is formed and defined by thirteen lectures, which are to introduce basics of the discipline. According opportunities for students will be organized lectures practitioners and field trips to companies engaged in activities related to the course content.
An integral part of course study is an active studying of documents of the course in e-learning system.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Examination: Combined – the examination has a written and an oral part. The examination tests the student’s knowledge and his/her ability of practical application.
Aims
The aim of this lecture is to lay theoretical foundations of control theory basics in therms for production machines control. Next aim is to clarify the basic elements of a feedback control methods that are used in technical practice.
