Summary
The course is intended for bachelor's degree students at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. The student will acquire knowledge and skills in the field of sensors, their use in practice, will be able to design measurement chains and will also become familiar with the measurement of selected quantities. The subject provides knowledge of the processing of electrical signals and devices used in control circuits.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The content of the subject is a description of procedures for the design and implementation of measurement chains, an explanation of the function of sensors of physical quantities, unification and subsequent processing of signals from these sensors for control systems.
Course Contents
- Familiarization with the issues and content of the studied subject.
- Overview of sensors (physical principles of sensors, division of sensors, new physical principles of sensors), A/D and D/A converters, unification of signals.
- Sensors used in sub-systems of mechatronic systems (intelligent sensors, parts of service and industrial robots.
- Implementation of sensors in control systems.
- Circuit elements for signal processing (OZ, transistor, diode, thyristor, triac, ...).
- Internal structure and principle of PLC automata programming, internal structure, programming languages.
