Automatic Control Equipment (FSI-VAU-A)

Academic year 2018/2019
Supervisor: doc. Ing. Zdeněk Němec, CSc.  
Supervising institute: ÚAI all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: English
Aims of the course unit:
Knowledge expanding in areas of sensors systems, sensor arrays, data acquisition, actuators, control systems, used in todays automation and mechatronics. Especially from the perspective of system design, modeling and application in practice. Furthermore, introduction to industry standards, advanced technologies and trends.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Review and expansion of theoretical and practical knowledge about selection, use, and modeling of sensors and actuators; design of system - controlled system, actuator, sensor system and controller. Introduction to the used industrial standards and modern trends from the area of automation, including EcoDesign.
Prerequisites:
Students are expected to have knowledge of automatic control.
Course contents:
1) Electrical Equipments:
The course deals with automatic control equipments included in a control loop, such as sensors, elements of transmission and signal transformation, central elements of regulators and actuators. Principle, function, characteristics, parameters and structure design are explained for these equipments. Detailed explanation is given to analogue regulators and their realization by means of operational amplifier and to digital compact regulators as well.
2) Fluid Equipments:
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:
Course-unit credit requirements: participation in seminars, completing of assigned laboratory works, processing the results of laboratory works.
Examination requirements, electrical equipments: written exam with 12 answers related to the topics of the course.
Examination requirements, fluid equipments: written exam with 2 answers from theoretical parts and 1 from laboratory works.
Controlled participation in lessons:
Attendance at lectures is recommended, attendance at seminars is required. It is at the teacher`s discretion to decide how to make up for missed seminars.
