The goal of this course is to introduce students to the basic techniques and equipment used to control technical systems.

The outcome of course the knowledge that students should possess in order to understand the ways and devices as means of control and regulation of the technical systems. Students who successfully learn the material object means to calculate the parameters of the mathematical model of the plant, to select the proper sensors, actuators and controllers, and to solve circuits containing them to analyze a simple programmable logic controllers.

1. Main principles of control; 2. Mathematical descriptions of control; 3. Sensors; 4. Actuators; 5. Regulators; 6. Programmable logic controllers; 7. Systems for monitoring and visualization; 8. Industrial networks; 9. Distributed and decentralized controllers; 10. Industrial robots; 11. Mechatronic systems; 12. Control systems implementation

Teaching is conducted through lectures and exercises. During the exercises the student is required to do practice-oriented tasks. Knowledge testing is carried out through two tests and the final exam, while before that student has to do all the exercises provided. The final exam is in written form.
