Description
Instrumentation and Control first part introduces students to measurement and control systems. This includes capacitors, inductors and a wide range of sensors and their applications.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
Design circuits to solve simple signal−conditioning and interfacing problems
2.
Describe the principle of operation, characteristics, and use of a selection of common electrical sensors and actuators
3.
Describe the concept of measurement and control systems, explain associated terminology, and perform calculations
4.
Design simple transistor switching circuits, using a load−line, and transistor parameters
5.
Describe the concept of measurement and control systems, explain associated terminology, and perform calculations on actual systems
Indicative Syllabus
This module introduces students to measurement and control systems. A range of sensors/actuators is examined, along with required signal−conditioning and digital interfacing. Initially, students are introduced to basic electrical principles, along with some electronic components and applications of same.
