Supervising institute: ÚAI all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech or English
Aims of the course unit:
Course objective: To acquaint students with automatic control equipments, their solutions, function and utilizations.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Knowledge of option, proposal and application possibilities of control circuit components.
A student will be able to operate, adjust and design automatic control circuits.
Prerequisites:
Students are expected to have knowledge of automatic control.
Course contents:
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, programmable logic controllers 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.
