Servomechanisms 1

Catalog description

Servomechanisms employ closed-loop feedback to improve control of various automated systems. In this course, students analyze principles of open and closed-loop systems, including the fundamental coverage of PID control modes. Feedback sensing devices such as encoders, tachometers, resolvers and LVDTs are examined, and the operation of position and velocity control systems is demonstrated in the lab. Experiments are conducted on DC motors, AC motors, stepper motors, and hydraulic servo control systems.
