Learning outcomes
|
The course builds on the course Automation I. Important passages discussed in Automation I are repeated with emphasis on the practical use of the experimental method of determining the characteristics of the system and the tuning of the controller. The aim of the course is to acquaint students with branched control circuits, multidimensional control, state-space model of dynamic system, state-space control and observer and with the digital control, discrete-time model of dynamic system and controller design in discrete-time area. MATLAB and Simulink are intensively used in the course.
After completing the course, the student demonstrates knowledge of multidimensional, state-space and digital control. The student can use MATLAB and can not only verify the proposed solutions by simulation but also apply them in the laboratory. The design and application of digital PID controllers and logic control algorithms will be carried out at student and technology workstations in the industrial automation laboratory.

Assessment methods and criteria
|
Oral examination, Home assignment evaluation
Students are motivated in a positive way to physically participate in lectures and exercises. They are required to be active and provide feedback during the teaching period. Towards the end of the teaching period, students are provided with an updated document of the topics that will be covered in the exam. The examination is oral. Students are given a number of questions and tasks, given time to prepare, and then the teacher individually assesses their answers to see how well they know the subject matter and grades their knowledge in the standard way with a grade of A to F. If a student fails the exam, the teacher clearly tells them why this has happened and, if possible, briefly explains the subject matter again.
