Introduction to Automatic Control (FSI-RRE)

Academic year 2019/2020
Supervisor: doc. Ing. Pavel Vorel, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: ÚMTMB all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
The aim of the course is to teach students to understand the relation between a real dynamic system, its mathematical model and the goal of a feedback control of this system.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Students will be able to solve the performance of dynamic systems in the time and in the frequency area They will learn how to design feedback controllers and how to apply it the acquired knowledge for with respect to position servodrives of NC machines and robots.
Prerequisites:
Calculations with complex numbers, linear differential equations, Laplace transform, matrix calculus
Course contents:
Control theory of linear systems, mathematical models of dynamic systems, state space equations, transfer functions, feedback systems, stability of feedback systems,basic types of controllers P, I, PI, PD, PID, design algorithms of controllers, state feedback control, state feedback control with an observer, discrete linear systems, Z-transform, design of digital controllers, discrete state control
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
The course-unit credit awarded on condition of having worked out given problems. Individual solution is expected applying program MATLAB/SIMULINK. Eexamination takes form of a written test
Controlled participation in lessons:
Attendance at practical training is obligatory.
