Course detail

Target of this course is to acquaint students with practical design, realization and parameters setting of controllers with artificial intelligence for real process control. Detailed explanation of all aspects for usage of controllers in control loops. The student will design and verify the simple adaptive control algorithm as a semester project. Course absolvent should be able to design and to adjust process controllers with standard algorithms. He should be also prepared to apply control algorithms with new structures into a process computer.

Course absolvent should be an able to design and adjust process controller with standards algorithms. Also to design control algorithms with structures with principles artificial intelligence and implement them into a process computer too.

The subject knowledge on the Bachelor´s degree level is requested.

Design and realisation of various continuous and discrete PID controllers. Optimization of adjusted parameters. Design, realisation and verification of simple adaptive controllers. Self-tuning controllers. Artificial intelligence in proces control (Fuzzy and neural controllers, Control of technological processes). Sensors, normalisation, connection, limited of disturbance. Individual project of simple self-tuning controller with artificial intelligence.
