Course detail

Automatic Control Equipment

FSI-VPRAcad. year: 2022/2023

1) Electrical Equipments:
The course deals with automatic control equipments includet in a control loop, such as sensor, elements of transmission and signal transformation, central elements of regulators and actuators. Principle, function, characteristics, parametrs and structure design ara explained for these equipments. Detailed explanation is given to analogue regulators and their realization by means of operational amplifier.


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.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

At the end of the course, the students will be able to operate, adjust, and design automatic control circuits using electrical and fluid instrumentation.

Prerequisites

Prerequisites: Basic knowledge of automatic control, mathematics and physics. All at the level of completed courses in the framework of earlier university studies.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught in the form of lectures, which are an explanation of the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Teaching is complemented by laboratory exercises, where the theoretical knowledge gained from lectures is practically verified. Where possible, lectures will be organized for practitioners and field trips to companies dealing with activities related to the subject matter.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Course-unit credit requirements: participation in seminars, completing of assigned laboratory works, processing the results of laboratory works.
Examination requirements, electrical equipments: oral exam covering the whole curriculum.

Requirements for the exam, fluid elements: the basis is a written part with answers to 2 questions from lectures and 1 question from laboratory exercises.
The answers to the questions are evaluated by points, the evaluation is according to the scale A -F.
