Course detail

Control of Mechatronic Systems

FSI-RRM Acad. year: 2021/2022 Summer semester

Control theory of linear discrete systems, Z-transform, transfer functions, feedback systems, stability of feedback systems, design of digital controllers, discrete state feedback control, discrete state feedback control with an observer, discrete state feedback control with disturbing compensation, implementation of discrete algorithms in microcomputers, examples of control of mechatronic systems (NC machines, robots).

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Acquired knowledge enables students to solve dynamic systems in the time domain as well as in the frequency domain, to design feedback controllers with a prescribed behavior of the closed loop, application for a position control of servodrives for NC machines and robots

Prerequisites

Linear differential equations, matrix calculus, principles of electrical engineering, mechanics, electrical servodrives

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Requirements for completion of a course are specified by a regulation issued by the lecturer responsible for the course and updated for every. 

Language of instruction

Czech

Aims

The goal of the subject is to provide students with basic knowledge of control theory of dynamical systems and its application to control mechatronic and robotic systems by a feedback controller.

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

Attendance at practical training is obligatory.
