Course detail

Electrical Automatic Control Equipment

FSI-VEAAcad. year: 2007/2008

The course deals with automatic control equipments included in a control loop, such as sensors, elements of transmission and signal transformation, central elements of regulators and actuators. Principle, function, characteristics, parameters and structure design are explained for these equipments. Detailed explanation is given to analogue regulators and their realization by means of operational amplifier.
