Course detail
Automation
FSI-6AAAcad. year: 2023/2024
The primary aim of the course is to provide the students with the complete knowledge of the automation and control systems.
The first part of the course makes the students familiar with the logic circuits. It presents logic functions, logic elements, combinational and sequential logic circuits. Minimization of logic functions (Karnaugh map) is discussed.
The second part includes the foundations of linear continuous systems analysis using the transfer function and impulse response of feedback control systems. Mathematical preliminary is the Laplace transform. This part covers the basic feedback theory and stability, accuracy and quality of regulation.
The third part of the course includes the foundations of digital control. It presents mathematical preliminary (Z - transform), digital transfer function and difference equations. It deals with stability condition, stability analysis through bilinear transformation and PID - control algorithm through Z - transform.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
Attendance and activity at the seminars are required. One absence can be compensated for by attending a seminar with another group in the same week, or by the elaboration of substitute tasks. Longer absence can be compensated for by the elaboration of compensatory tasks assigned by the tutor.
Aims
Analysis and design of linear continuous-time and discrete feedback control systems. Students will obtain the basic knowledge of automation, description and classification of control systems, determination of their characteristics. Students will be able to solve problems stability of control systems.
