Learning outcomes
The subject introduces the basics of automation and control of production machines. The main attention is given to positional servomechanisms (principles of execution, interpolation errors, static and dynamic characteristics) and peripheries that enable and influence CNC machine control (measuring elements, control systems, design principles). The design of control loops and verification of principles of position control is also based on computer simulations in SW Matlab - Simulink.
Students will gain knowledge and experience in the field of automation and control of drives of production machines, with a focus on positional servomechanisms. They will get acquainted with individual peripherals, that enable CNC control of the machine (measuring elements, control systems, design principles). Students will learn practical computer simulation in Matlab - Simulink within the design of control loops and verification of principles of position control.
