Upon successful completion of the course, the student:
– analyses the operating principles and characteristics of low-power servo drives,
– compares the characteristics of servo drives based on DC, electronically commutated, stepper, AC, and reluctance motors,
– designs an appropriate servo drive structure for a specific mechatronic application,
– applies the principles of power electronics and control theory in servo drive design,
– evaluates the dynamic and operating characteristics of the designed servo drive.
