Section A Machines. Components of a power system. Induced EMFs and electromagnetic torque, electrical instruments. Three phase systems and basic characteristics of synchronous, induction, stepper motors and DC machines.Section B Control. Process characteristics, concepts of set point and load control, control actions (on-off, proportional, rate and reset), PID controllers, simple and complex control loops, controller tuning.Section C Measurement systems, accuracy, errors, units, static and dynamic characteristics, loading effect, noise, reliability and costing. Basic types of transducers used in the industry for temperature, pressure and flow rate measurements. Signal conditioning. Specialised measurement systems.
Learning Outcomes
- to demonstrate an understanding of the fundamental concepts of automatic control using concepts of mathematical models to determine the characteristics of practical systems;
- to have an understanding of the basic relationships in electromagnetism applied to determining the terminal characteristics of ac and dc machines, stepper motors and transformers;
- to understand the principles of design of measurement systems; demonstrate a detailed knowledge, through discussion and design, of the types of transducers available to measure physical parameters using both analogue and digital systems.
