Synopsis:

This subject contains a review of classical automation equipment. Operation principles, main parameters and characteristics and industrial applications of continuous, discontinuous, logical, digital and fuzzy devices are discussed. Further it deals with the problems of equithermal control, control of heating, self-tuning algorithms of PID controllers, disturbances of control circuits elimination, ARW circuits, electrical, pneumatic and hydralic actuators. The examples of typical applications are indicated.
