Automatic Control Equipment (FSI-VPR)

Academic year 2023/2024
Supervisor: doc. Ing. Pavel Škrabánek, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: ÚAI all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:

To acquaint students with electrical and pneumatic instrumentation used in automatic control circuits in the terms of its principle, function, and utilization.

At the end of the course, the students will be able to operate, adjust, and design automatic control circuits using electrical and pneumatic instrumentation.
Learning outcomes and competences:

At the end of the course, the students will be able to operate, adjust, and design automatic control circuits using electrical and fluid instrumentation.
Prerequisites:

Prerequisites: Basic knowledge of automatic control, mathematics and physics. All at the level of completed courses in the framework of earlier university studies.
Course contents:

The course deals with instrumentation used for construction of control loops aimed at automatic control of technological processes. Students will get a knowledge of sensors, elements of signal transmission and transformation, controllers, and actuators. Instrumentation with electrical and pneumatic transmission of signals is included in the course. Students will test the acquired knowledge on simple tasks in the practical part of the course.
Teaching methods and criteria:

The course is taught in the form of lectures, which are an explanation of the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Teaching is complemented by laboratory exercises, where the theoretical knowledge gained from lectures is practically verified. Where possible, lectures will be organized for practitioners and field trips to companies dealing with activities related to the subject matter.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
 
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.
Type of course unit:
    Lecture  13 × 2 hrs. optionally                  
    Laboratory exercise  13 × 2 hrs. compulsory
