Prerequisites:
Theoretical knowledge about control, design of control systems and electronics fundamentals.
Course contents:
Fundamentals of electrical quantities measurement, data processing. Sensors fundamentals, selection, utilization and characteristics of sensors: temperature, proximity, position, velocity and acceleration; force, torque and mass. Selection, utilization, driving and control of actuators: electric heating and cooling, electric drives and piezo actuators. Selection of control systems, DAQ, signal conditioning, communication busses, SMART sensors and complex sensors systems.
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 credit award requirements: active participation in laboratories, elaboration and commit of laboratory reports. Examinations: written and oral, classified by ECTS.
Controlled participation in lessons:
Attendance at lectures is recommended, attendance at seminars is monitored. Maximally two absence are compensated by individual missing laboratory reports working out.
