Control Systems and Sensors

Course guarantor:

David Vyhlídal

Lecturer:

David Vyhlídal

Tutor:

David Vyhlídal

Supervisor:

Department of Laser Physics and Photonics

Synopsis:

The lecture addresses the theory, analysis, and implementation of linear analog and digital control systems, as well as sensors for various physical quantities. Part of the lecture is devoted to computer modeling and simulation using MATLAB, along with practical measurements conducted by the students on a continuous system with analog control (a servomechanism with an electric motor) or a continuous system with discrete control (temperature control using a thermoelectric cooler module).

Requirements:

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Basic concepts in control theory (control theory, cybernetics, automation, control system, transfer function, Laplace transform, poles, zeroes)

2. Basic system classification (linear/non-linear, stationary/non-stationary, continuous/discrete)

3. Basic system properties (static and dynamic characteristics)

4. System identification (basic models, transport delay, Strejc method, statistic methods of identification)

5. Basic types of controllers (P, I, D, PI, PD, PID)

6. Control quality evaluation (quality criteria, resonant peak, control deviation)

7. Control systems stability (stability criteria, Nyquist criterium)

8. Regulator design (analytical, experimental methods, Ziegler-Nichols method)

9. Discrete control (sampling, quantization, Z-transform, stability, control algorithm, discrete regulator)

10. Sensors (classification, basic concepts, temperature and optical sensors)

11. Practical measurements with control system

Syllabus of tutorials:

Measurement of the transfer function of a servo system with a motor, determination of the time constant of the system with feedback and without feedback.

Study Objective:

Knowledge: Basic control theory concepts. Understanding of control systems in terms of design, analysis and implementation.

Skills: Design and implementation of the analog and digital control systems.
