Offer 1 with catalog number 1019079CNR for all students in the 2nd semester at a (C) Bachelor - specialised level.
The course on automation consists of two parts. In the first part we analyse in detail the dynamic behaviour of a controller. In the second part we handle the design of compensation controllers (a.o. PID) and PLC-regulators.
The first part starts with an intuitive study of the dynamic behaviour of open (feedforward) and closed loop (feedback) controllers, and calculations with block diagrams. Next, the step response and the corresponding static error are analysed. Part 1 ends with the stability analysis of controllers using the Bode plots and the root locus technique.
Part two starts with the study and design of compensation controllers (PD, lead controller, PI, lag controller, PID). Next we discuss briefly the digital implementation of analogue controllers. Finally, the use and design of PLC-regulators is handled.
This course is not taught in English!
De lecture notes are made available in PDF on Canvas, and printed at the Standaard Student shop
