Course detail

Automatic Diagnostics

FSI-VAD-KAcad. year: 2010/2011

The course is concerned with problems technical diagnostics in mechanical and automatic application. Students are acquainted with basic methods and instrumentation of technical non- removal diagnostics and of the special condition monitoring system with fully automated function. Special attention is paid to diagnostics of individual components of control loop and diagnostics in modern control systems. A self-diagnostics mode system in automatic control and relations of the diagnostics to reliability and maintenance of systems are also dealt.
