Learning outcomes
On successful completion of the course, the student should be able to
- apply the methods of analysis and design of systems for motion control
- explain the most commonly used components for such systems
- dimension and selecting components to this type of systems
- design controllers based on the requirements for stability and accuracy
- be familiar with micro controller structure and programming of these in C, and being able to develop applications for controls servo systems
Contents
Principles and operation of a DC / AC servo motors and step motors with drive circuits. Load Analysis: calculation of the mass moment of inertia, velocity profile. Functionality, features, sizing and selection of drive components: gears, screws, shafts, chains, tangential drive etc. Principles for design of series compensators and cascade control. Building applications in C - data types, loops, selection, functions, tables, strings, pointers, structures and in-/out programming. Internal microcontroller functions - PWM, Timers, AD / DA and external interrupt.
Examinations
Individual computer based exam, 4 hours (60% contribution to the final assessment), and project report with compulsory presentation (40% contribution to the final assessment). Graded assessment.
Student evaluation
The study programme manager, in consultation with the student representative, decides the method of evaluation and whether the courses will have a midterm- or end of term evaluation, see also the Quality System, section 4.1. Information about evaluation method for the course will be posted on Canvas.
