Control Systems

Lecturer:

Tutor:

Supervisor:

Department of Control Engineering

Synopsis:

Subject Control Systems deal with control systems structure and their realizations. There are discussing basic principle of work of different basic parts of control systems. General point of view is completed with concrete industrial examples of mentioned blocks. Technical applications are connected especially with the machine tools field. (http://dce.felk.cvut.cz/rs)
