Course detail

Electrical and Pneumatic Automation Systems

FSI-VAU-KAcad. year: 2023/2024

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.

Entry knowledge

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

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Knowledge and skills are verified by credit and examination.
Credit requirements: attendance at seminars, completion of given laboratory tasks and elaboration of a written report from measurements. Attendance at seminars is obligatory. Laboratory exercises are evaluated by the teacher in terms of activity and the laboratory protocol is evaluated and must be submitted and recognized.

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.

 

Attendance at lectures is recommended, attendance at seminars is required. It is at the teacher`s discretion to decide how to make up for missed seminars.

Aims

To acquaint students with electrical and fluid instrumentation used in automatic control circuits in the terms of its principle, function, and utilization.


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