Course detail
Electrical and Pneumatic Automation Systems
FSI-VAUAcad. year: 2024/2025
1) Electrical elements:
The course discusses the elements of automatic control contained in the control loop, ie sensors, signal transmission and transformation elements, central controllers and actuators. These elements explain the principle, function, properties, parameters and design solutions. Increased attention is paid to analog controllers and their implementation using operational amplifiers.
2) Fluid elements:
The subject is devoted to pneumatic and hydraulic elements of automatic control. The substance is divided into two parts, the first deals with theoretical principles, the second deals with practical use. Students will learn various types of sensors, actuators and other parts of fluid systems. The theoretical knowledge is then applied in the practical part of the course.
Practical use of electrical and pneumatic elements is shown and practiced in the laboratory on simple control tasks.
