Students possess, subject-specific for hydraulic and pneumatic drives, advanced knowledge and skills regarding regulated open and closed circuits of hydraulic and pneumatic systems. They have a profound knowledge of the uses of proportional and servo technology. They understand the correlation of electro-hydraulic and electro-pneumatic drives and controllers. The students possess the competence to design circuit diagrams and to calculate machines. They are able to analyse circuit diagrams, recognize and eliminate errors.

Students also have a deep understanding of classic control circuits and their practice-relevant extensions and methods of analysis and their time-discrete realisation. They are familiar with modern frequency range methods and advanced methods of control technology.

Control circuits with PI/PID-controllers; anti-windup, analysis of control circuits with limits and non-linearity by applying the describing function method, choice of sampling time for digital control circuits, frequency-response characteristics method for time-discrete control circuits, quantification of the control quality and performance with appropriate system norms and quality criteria, modern frequency domain methods, Youla-parametrization and advanced-loop-shaping;

Lecture with computer-based exercises.

Continuous assessment (based on regular written and/or oral contribution by participants).
