Subject syllabus

1. Control systems, measurement and diagnostic subsystem, static and dynamic properties of the part of measuring circuits. (Experimental identification, modeling).
2. The structure of sensors and their properties. Principles of sensors - passive sensors (resistive, inductive, capacitive, photoelectric, ionization, magnetic, polarizing, Hall, etc.), active sensors (thermal, photoelectric, inductive, pyroelectric, ...).
3. Measurement and evaluation circuits for processing signals from sensors (analog and digital circuits, filtering, compensation, linearization).
4. System, analog-digital (A / D) and D / A converters, units in contact with the environment (structure, properties, connected to a microprocessor, PLC and IPC)
5. Sensors and methods for measuring mechanical power variables (position, size, displacement, speed, velocity, acceleration, force, torque, vibration).
6. Sensors and methods for measuring temperature and heat (principles, characteristics of thermometers, contact and contactless readers, implementation and participation, examples of applications).
7. Sensors and methods for measuring pressure and flow rate (gases, liquids, bulk materials), level of liquids and solids, and other selected variables ..
8. Sensors and methods of measurement of physical and chemical properties of materials (sensor for concentration of gases, liquids, conductivity, pH, refractive index, etc.).
9. Circuit for processing signals from sensors - evaluation circuits for measurement of selected physical quantities (voltage amplifiers, resistance, capacitance, frequency, ...).
10. Computer measurement and diagnostic systems, IMC, IPC.
11. New physical principles of sensors. Intelligent sensor systems (structure type, which connect to the sensor nodes, Ilan and WiLAN examples).
12. Methodology of measurement and diagnostic systems (computer aided design of SCADA / MMI)
13. Measuring and diagnostic systems with computers (hardware and software solutions, examples of hardware and software solutions).
14. Design methodology and examples of measurement and diagnostic systems for automotive and mechatronic systems.
