Formål
The aim of the course is to provide the participants with in-depth knowledge on relevant sensor technologies and develop minor automatic controls including system analysis to be used for automation solutions within the area of biosystems engineering. The participants should understand the physical and technical principles of selected types of sensors, actuators and automatic control systems.
Indhold
The course covers selected topics within the area of sensor technology and automatic control systems. Specific topics are:
-
Sensor characteristics: transfer function, sensitivity, dynamic range, accuracy, hysteresis, nonlinearity, noise, resolution, band width,
-
Network circuit analysis
-
Operational amplifiers and systems response
-
Sensor types, principles and selection, e.g. for sensing of strain, temperature, pressure, small scale position and motion, acceleration and vibration, force load and weight, humidity, flow and level, sound, radiation (incl. optical),
-
Data acquisition and processing using Lab View
-
Wireless sensor networks
-
GIS/GPS and Remote sensing
-
Machine vision as a sensing technique
-
actuators
-
open, closed loop control, pressure and servo control
-
P, PI, PD and PID control
-
Multi loop control(cascade, feed forward and ratio controls)
Faglige forudsætninger
