Course content
Seminars: 1. Presentation of requirements for the subject, required student activities and the form of submitted results. 2. Overview of recommended control algorithms. 3. Presentation of available real-time systems. Laboratory exercises: 1. Division of students into teams, assignment of real-time systems to individual teams, safety of work in the laboratory. Familiarization with the given real-time system (principle of the system, inputs, outputs). 2. Identification of static and dynamic properties of the system. 3. Creating an abstract system model. 4. Selection of the hardware solution of the control system from the available options for the given system (PC, PLC, industrial process controller,). Design of the user interface of the control system, or its interaction with superior systems. 5. Design of control algorithm and its verification and debugging on an abstract model. 6. Implementation of control algorithm on control system hardware. 7. Verification and debugging of the control system on the real-time system. 8. Elaboration of the project of the proposed control system, including economic evaluation 9. Defending a semester project in the form of presentation and discussion.
