| Objective : | A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to: • Select physical laws for description of simple dynamic system"s properties. • Derive mathematical models of mechanical, electrical, fluid and thermal systems and represent them in block diagram form. • Carry out necessary manipulations on the mathematical models including linearization of nonlinear differential equations. • Derive transfer functions for linear systems. • Determine characteristic parameters for 1st and 2nd order systems. • Apply frequency response methods to linear systems. • Analyze open-loop and closed-loop systems based on transfer functions. • Evaluate the relation between the systems’ characteristic parameters and their time and frequency responses. • Carry out stability analysis of control systems. • Design and select standard controllers by analytical means and by empirical tuning. • Use the computer software MATLAB/Simulink for the analysis, design and simulation of control systems. • Have knowledge of the structure of Programmable Logic Controller PLC and use a PLC for practical task with HMI-interface • PLC languages: basic and ladder logic. • Combinatorial and sequential logic software design methods. • Describe the functions I/O of A/D and D/A converter modules. • Explain the basic components of sensors and transducers. • Use electric motors and actuators and explain their components. • Use standard measuring instruments and understand errors in measurement systems. • Describe and tune a PID controller in a PLC system. • Apply the topics of the lectures to practical problems through project work in groups and through guided projects. • Organize project work in small groups. |

| Principal Content : | Fundamental concepts in control systems with feedback. Formulation of models of physical systems. Differential equations. Linearization. Laplace transformation and transfer functions. Root-locus and frequency analysis. Basic design methods in both the frequency domain and the time domain. Stability. Applications of standard controllers and compensators. The theoretical results of the course will be illustrated by practical examples. PLC, sensors, actuators, and their applications to intelligent manufacturing and mechatronic systems. Programmable Logic Controllers. Models of mixed engineering systems. Feedback control systems. PID controllers. |
||
| Teaching method : | The pedagogy of the course is “problem-based learning”. Approximately half of the time allocated to the course will be used in guided project work in groups. The course projects will give the students an opportunity to apply basic concepts learned in the class to real life problems, and to learn new concepts in mechatronics that are not covered in the lectures. There will be introductory and summing up lectures and the students will work in small groups with projects, problem solving, simulations and case studies. |
||
| Required prequisites : | Mathematics & Modeling I (ME-MAM1) or equivalent | ||
| Recommended prerequisites : | Dynamics & Vibrations (ME-DYV) | ||
| Relations : | The course is fundamental to the whole study program in mechanical engineering | ||
| Type of examination : | Four hours written examination | ||
| External examiner : | External | ||
| Marking : | 7 step scale | ||
| Remarks : | The final evaluation of each student will be based on four-hour written exam, where the use of laptops and MATLAB will be required for the exam.and a individual oral examination based on a project assignments. The evaluation of project assignments for each student will be based on an assessment of the presentation of the course assignments and the group report. Weight: written examination 50 % and project assignments 50 %. | ||
