Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will be able to solve the performance of dynamic systems in the time and in the frequency area They will learn how to design feedback controllers and how to apply it the acquired knowledge for with respect to position servodrives of NC machines and robots.

Prerequisites

Calculations with complex numbers, linear differential equations, Laplace transform, matrix calculus

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

The course-unit credit awarded on condition of having worked out given problems. Individual solution is expected applying program MATLAB/SIMULINK. Eexamination takes form of a written test

Aims

The aim of the course is to teach students to understand the relation between a real dynamic system, its mathematical model and the goal of a feedback control of this system.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Attendance at practical training is obligatory.
