General description
Objectives of automation. Classification, architecture and elements of automatic control systems. Feedback.Transducers, regulators, programmable controllers, electrical drivers.
Mathematical models of systems. Continuous time system with one input and one output, transfer function, typical transfer functions, computation of transfers. Step response. Static and dynamic qualityc characteristics. Main control laws, PID-regulator. Discrete time systems, A/D and D/A converters, equivalent discrete time system. State model of the discrete time system, system movement, stability, controllability, observability.
Examples of control systems, hierarchical control of production, "intelligent building".
General aim
The aim of this course is to give the general overview on automatic control theory on structure, elements and devices of control systems, to acquaint the possibilities of automation on everyday life and industry, automation equipment and their technical properties, to provide knowledge for setting and solving automation tasks.
Aim
-knows the main structural schemes and elements of automation and also their usage possibilities;
- can analyse on the basis of the models of the system the properties of an automatics system;
- can connect real systems with models and draw conclusions about the properties of the real system on the basis of it.
Form description
