Instrumentation of Automatic Control

Course guarantor:

Lecturer:

Tutor:

Supervisor:

Department of Instrumentation and Control Engineering

Synopsis:

The subject focuses on specific knowledge in the field of automation technology applications, especially the use of industrial controllers, sensors, signal processing, pneumatic, hydraulic and electric actuators. The graduate will be able to navigate the choice of actuators, set the parameters of the controllers, and assemble individual parts of control chains.

It includes laboratory exercises on real industrial elements.
