Objectives and competences
Objective of the course in to get the students acquainted with modern microprocessor systems that can process the signals in real time and control high dynamics mechatronic systems.
Learning and teaching methods
Oral lectures and mandatory laboratory exercises on laboratory microprocessor models.
Intended learning outcomes
Knowledge and understanding:
The student will learn how to program microprocessor for fast application in a real time. He will understand the advantages and limitations in realization of processor controlled systems of power electronics that form a mechatronic system. He will also get acquainted with modern tools in this field.
Application: A strong connection between theory and praxis is emphasized. The student will test the acquired knowledge on a real processor model that is common in the industrial praxis.
Reflection: The student will have the possibility of connecting the mathematical background, its translation into computer algorithms, and practical application in the field of real time signal processing, as in industrial applications.
Transferable skills: This subject includes application of highly sophisticated and fast changing microprocessor technics. Therefore, the student has to follow the changes through specialized literature and internet, which is useful for his future engineering work.
