Inhalte

Laboratory experiments with tasks from mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and process engineering: Analysis and controller design in the time and frequency domain, state models, digital control, use of the Matlab/Simulink software package.

Lernziele

The students deepen the basic and advanced knowledge of control engineering by applying it to real laboratory experiments and simulated processes. The students are able to reflect on the relationships between modelling, design and practical implementation and to assess the real results in a well-founded manner. With the help of preparatory tasks and experimental instructions, they can develop their own questions and propose justified adjustments to the standard methods of control engineering. The students are able to work together in a group and solve tasks together. On the other hand, independence in the development and application of subject-specific knowledge is encouraged.

Prüfungsleistung

There will be 5-7 experiments (the number will be announced at the beginning of the course). Each laboratory experiment includes: • the preparation (5-10 sheets of paper in the self-study time), • a written test (15 min in attendance time), • the execution (approx. 165 min in attendance time) and • the evaluation (10-15 sheets of paper in the self-study time). Points are awarded for the individual performances. They are distributed as follows: • Preparatory tasks 30%, • Written test 10%, • Execution and protocol 60%. The module grade is calculated on the basis of the total points achieved in the semester. The module is passed (grade 4.0) if 50% of the total points have been achieved.
