Summary
The course extends the knowledge of the subject Biocybernetics and provides more detailed explanations of concepts from the field of control and deals with the properties of control systems. Students will gradually get acquainted with analysis of continuous and discrete signals, linear dynamic systems and control circuits in the time and frequency domains. It will be explained external and internal description of linear dynamic systems. Students also get acquainted with the methods of identification of dynamical systems. It will be followed by analysis of linear control systems in both frequency and time domain. It also discusses the stability of control circuits, the static accuracy and quality control.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The aim of the course is to provide students with a broader basis of the measurement and control systems. The course describes the general structure of the control circuit starting with obtaining information from the measured system, signal processing, design of the structure and parameters of the control circuit, and verification of the control quality. This analysis can be applied to any generalized system. Students will be able to practically carry out dynamic system identification and to analyze properties of dynamical systems and control circuits using computer technology and simulation systems, in particular, Simulink and Matlab.
