Course detail

Automatic Control Equipment

FSI-VPR-KAcad. year: 2024/2025

The course deals with instrumentation used for construction of control loops aimed at automatic control of technological processes. Students will get a knowledge of sensors, elements of signal transmission and transformation, controllers, and actuators. Instrumentation with electrical and pneumatic transmission of signals is included in the course. Students will test the acquired knowledge on simple tasks in the practical part of the course.
