Fluid Automatic Control Equipment (FSI-VAT)

Academic year 2018/2019
Supervisor: doc. Ing. Stanislav Věchet, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: ÚAI all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
The course gives an introduction to an automatic control based on a fluid substance.
Learning outcomes and competences:
After passing the course the students have basic knowledge of the automatic control.
They can operate, tune and design automatic control circuits.
Prerequisites:
Control theory basic knowledge.
Course contents:
The course deals with an automatic control based on a fluid substance.
The course consists of two parts: one deals with theoretical principles, the other with practical experiments. In the theoretical part, students can learn about types of sensors, actuators and other parts of fluid systems.
The theoretical knowledge is applied to a real system in the practical part of the course. Practical experiments take place in laboratory on simple control tasks.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
Credit requirements
Students have to do all practical experiments and work out a report
Examination requirements
The examination consists of written and oral parts. Written part includes questions from both
theoretical and practical parts of the course, oral part includes discussion about the answers and possible additional questions.
Controlled participation in lessons:
If student misses the course, he/she can attend an alternative course to perform appropriate experiment.
