Course content
Each student will work on 3 projects that are performed on different laboratory systems. The student, in agreement with the teacher of the exercise, chooses from the available systems (magnetic levitation, pendulum, two-rotor multidimensional system, coupled servomotors,...) Content of work in individual weeks: 1. Getting acquainted with the available equipment of the Laboratory of Real Processes, selection of three specific projects. 2. - 5. first project - acquaintance with the controlled system, its identification, design of control algorithms, simulation of the control circuit, application of algorithms on the real system, evaluation of results. 6. - 9. second project - acquaintance with the regulated system, its identification, design of control algorithms, simulation of the control circuit, application of algorithms on the real system, evaluation of results. 10. - 13. third project - acquaintance with the regulated system, its identification, design of control algorithms, simulation of the control circuit, application of algorithms on the real system, evaluation of results. 14. Presentation of project results and their defence.
