Learn how a control system works and how to apply it in practice. In this course you will learn how to design and choose control system components (actuators, sensors, electronics, PID algorithm, feedforward and software). You learn how to choose the components in such a way that the whole system functions optimally.
Control systems usually are the basis for automation. The PID algorithm is the most commonly used tool. But how do you choose the components of the control system in such a way that everything works properly? This question is not easy to answer, and if the components are chosen incorrectly, it has extremely unpleasant consequences. In practice, the automated system often appears to function below the original expectation. In the most extreme case, the automated system will not function at all. In this course you will learn how to answer this question in a systematic way.
During this course you will learn, in a hands-on manner:
During the course there are exercises on a test setup with PLC/Arduino and on simulation models. In addition, you can bring data from your own process and/or system to be controlled so that you can apply the above theory during the course to your own professional situation.
The course is targeting people that wish to design a control system for any application, including motion systems, process, power systems, drones, wind turbines. It targets, among others, the following people:

“Een goede inleiding in de regeltechniek.”Roland Voigt (Air Liquide Industrie BV)
“Een goede combinatie tussen theorie en praktijk. De mogelijkheid om "eigen" procesdata te analyseren met de PID-tuner en nieuwe instellingen te testen in de praktijk draagt bij aan het begrijpen van de theorie en het ontdekken van de mogelijkheden van een PID-tuner.”Koen Weijers (Nobial Industrial Chemicals BV)
