prerequisite
Knowledge
It supposed the students have basic knowledge about mathematics, cybernetics, electronics, computer systems and about theory of linear systems that is lectured at the same semester.
learning outcomes
After pass the subject a student will obtain outline knowledge about synthesis, features and application of basic components of automatic control systems and their design tools. A student will be particularly able: - to design and build electric circuits for signal processing (frequency filters, amplifiers, correctors) - to design and program simple measurement and control algorithm on microcontroller platform - to connect and set up a programmable industrial controller PID with a regulated system
