Course detail
Control of Machines and Drives
FSI-ERS-KAcad. year: 2023/2024
The content of the course can be divided into three interconnected parts. In the first part, students will focus on the basic concepts of automatic control and logic control. In the second part, students will learn about control in the area of continuous and discrete systems. In the third part, students will learn about the individual parts of the regulatory chain.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
The course is evaluated by credit and exam. Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes: Course-unit credit is awarded on condition of having attended the seminars actively and elaborated the task according to the instructions of the tutor. The exam is written and is evaluated in the range of 0-100 points. The evaluation of the test result is given by the ECTS grading scale.
Controlled instruction is exercise. Exercises are compulsory. Attendance at seminars is checked and the level of knowledge is checked by solving practical tasks. Missed lessons must be completed with another group, or in exceptional cases by assigning homework on the topic. The level of elaboration of this work is evaluated by the teacher.
Aims
Ability to analyze and design linear continuous and discrete feedback control systems. Students will acquire basic knowledge of automation, description and classification of control systems and determination of their characteristics. Students will be able to solve stability problems of control systems. Students will be able to choose suitable components of the control circuit with respect to the control requirements.
