Course detail

Automation

FSI-6AAAcad. year: 2007/2008

...The primary aim of the course is to provide the students with the complete knowledge of the automation and control systems.
...The first part of the course makes the students familiar with the logic circuits. It presents logic functions, logic elements, combinational and sequential logic circuits. Minimization of logic functions (Karnaugh map) is discussed.
...The second part includes the foundations of linear continuous systems analysis using the transfer function and impulse response of feedback control systems. Mathematical preliminary is the Laplace transform. This part covers the basic feedback theory and stability of systems.
...The third part of the course includes the foundations of digital control. It presents mathematical preliminary (Z - transform), digital transfer function and difference equations. It deals with stability condition, stability analysis through bilinear transformation and PID - control algorithm through Z - transform.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

...Analysis and design of linear continuous-time and discrete feedback control systems. Students will obtain the basic knowledge of automation, description and classification of control systems, determination of their characteristics. Students will be able to solve problems stability of control systems.

Prerequisites

...Fundamental concepts in mathematics including the solution of the system of differential equations . Fundamental concepts in physics (particularly dynamics) and electrical engineering.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

...In order to be awarded the course-unit credit students must prove 100% active participation in laboratory exercises and elaborate a paper on the presented themes. The exam is written and oral. In the written part a student compiles two main themes which were presented during the lectures and solves three examples. The oral part of the exam will contain discussion of tasks and possible supplementary questions.

Aims

...Goals of the course: The aim of the course is to formulate and establish basic conceptions of automatic control, computational models, theories and algorithms of control systems.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

...Attendance and activity at the seminars are required. One absence can be compensated for by attending a seminar with another group in the same week, or by the elaboration of substitute tasks. Longer absence can be compensated for by the elaboration of compensatory tasks assigned by the tutor.
