Course 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.
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
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.
