Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the basics of automation. The course gives an introduction to control problems, basic measurements and actuators are described, the principle of logic control, on-off and PID control is described, characteristics of controlled systems, methods for PID controller tuning, Laplace transform, transfer function, block algebra, concept of stability of the dynamic system is explained and criteria for assessing the control quality are given. Furthermore, the system of temperature, pressure, level, flow, position and velocity control is designed and applied on laboratory models.
After completing the course, the students demonstrate knowledge of control circuit analysis and synthesis. They know how to use MATLAB, are able to simulate and apply proposed solutions.

Assessment methods and criteria
|
Oral examination
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.
