Introduction to basic concepts in the field of Automatic Control and training for implementation and verification of acquired knowledge to specific physical systems and processes. Acceptance of some methodologies for analytical and experimental verification of the basic static and dynamic characteristics and parameters of the system. Learning basic MATLAB tools to help in calculation and simulation of all of the computational parts of this subject.

Getting basic knowledge of the automatic control. Identify and use the methods needed for analysis and synthesis of the controllers as a part of the control system, as well as the whole automatic control system. For proper use of computers and MATLAB in solving the main problems of the control systems, as well as other engineering problems. To be analytical and / or experimentally investigated the basic dynamic and static characteristics of the system

Introduction to basic concepts and terms in the field of the automatic control. Basic concepts of the automatic control. The control systems of basic physical values (position, level, pressure, flow, temperature, speed, ...) illustrated the most frequent objects and processes in mechanical engineering. The basic dynamic and static characteristics and parameters of the system in time domain, their analytical determination (time constant, rise time, settling time, overshoot, gain, static error, ...). The transfer function of the system. Block diagrams. Frequency response of the system. The main indicators of the system in the domain of frequency response (resonance frequency, attenuation, bandwidth, ...). The basic types of control systems: P, PI, PID and their impact on the dynamic and static properties of the system through the commonly used objects and processes in mechanical engineering. The concept of stability criterion for the stability checking of linear systems.

Practical training shall include all the above experimental methods, and training is based on simulation using MATLAB. Presentation of the systems and physical values by the standard symbols, labels and understanding of control principles based on design documentation. Experimental evaluation of the main system parameters in the time domain (time constant, rise time, settling time, overshoot, gain, static error, ...). The transfer function, experimental determination and significance. Frequency response of the system, the experimental determination and significance. Hydraulic servo systems, servo valves, hydraulic cylinders.

Basic computer knowledge founded on PCs platforms, basic knowledge of higher education mathematics.
