Course detail

Electrical Servodrives

FSI-GES-KAcad. year: 2024/2025

The subject provides students with the knowledge of basic problems of electric servodrives and their role in driving production machines and equipment. It concerns with defining basic requirements regarding static and dynamic characteristics of servomechanisms, explaning principles of activities of the most important components of electric servo mechanisms, methodology of the design of the most frequently used feedback circuits (position loop, speed feedback, current feedback, position servomechanism with subordinated current and speed loop, dynamic submission of position loop, communication between numeric control system and machine drives), and the description of the interaction with the inertial load at servomechanisms.

Aims

The aim of the subject is to provide students with the information on the current status and possibilities provided by the electric drives engineering for application in production machines and equipment. The task of the subject is to reach basic knowledge on such a level, so as the students are able to apply the above stated equipment and their components in their profession and to get orientation in the wide market offer of individual producers.
The subject of Electrical Servodrives enables students to acquire knowledge needed for the design and optimal setting of production machines and equipment drives in compliance with technical documentation of the drives producer of, control systems and other necessary components. Students will also gain practical skills needed for servicing and diagnostics of simple faults of electric servomechanisms.
