Aims

The target of this course is to get students acquainted with practical design, realization and parameters setting of controllers for real process control. Detailed explanation of all aspects for usage of controllers in control loops. Course absolvent should be able to design and to adjust process controllers with standard algorithms. S/he should be also prepared to apply control algorithms with complicated structures into a process computer.
