Course detail

Automatic Control Equipment

FSI-VAU-AAcad. year: 2016/2017

1) Electrical Equipments:
The course deals with automatic control equipments included in a control loop, such as sensors, elements of transmission and signal transformation, central elements of regulators and actuators. Principle, function, characteristics, parameters and structure design are explained for these equipments. Detailed explanation is given to analogue regulators and their realization by means of operational amplifier and to digital compact regulators as well.
2) Fluid Equipments:
The course deals with an automatic control based on a fluid substance. The course consists of two parts: one deals with theoretical principles, the other with practical experiments. In the theoretical part, students can learn about types of sensors, actuators and other parts of fluid systems. The theoretical knowledge is applied to a real system in the practical part of the course. Practical experiments take place in laboratory on simple control tasks.
