Study guide - Sensing, Computing, Actuating (5AIB0) 1 Introduction Almost any modern system contains sensors to observe the environment and actuators to influence this environment. An example of such a system is a modern car which is typically equipped with tempera- ture, pressure, speed, chemical sensors and various mechanical values and engines. This course provides an introduction to sensor and actuator technology. It discusses the basic principles behind the most commonly used types of sensors and actuators. It also deals with the physical principles which underlie the operation of these sensors and actuators. The course provides also a basic introduction into signal processing (FIR filters and their frequency response), control theory and interface electronics such that students can design a complete system which integrates the sensors and actuators introduced in this course. 2 Prior knowledge • 5AIA0 - Computation for Automotive (mandatory) • 2DE30 - Signals and Mathematics (mandatory) • 5XCA0 - Fundamentals of Electronics (recommended) 3 Learning objectives The course objective is to provide students with an introduction to all components needed in a modern control system. At the end of the course, the students should be able to ... • describe the basic components (sensor, signal conditioner, controller, actuator) in a control system; • describe the physical conversion phenomena underlying the operation of transducers (sensors, ac- tuators); • apply filtering and DSP techniques on the signals from and to the transducers; • analyse the static and dynamic characteristics of transducers and the complete system; • analyse the static errors that limit the accuracy of transducers; • dimension the interface electronics used in a control system that contains sensors and actuators; • select control algorithms that meet the performance requirements of the system under design. 1 4 Course schedule 5 Laptop A laptop is required for all signal processing lectures. 6 Study material • “Sensors and Actuators: Engineering System Instrumentation, Second Edition” by Clarence W. de Silva, CRC Press, ISBN 9781466506817 (mandatory). • “Signal Processing First” by J.H. McClellan, R.W. Schafer, and M.A. Yoder, Pearson Education International, 2003 (mandatory). • All slides and exercises that are part of the course. This material is available as a download from the course website. (mandatory). Slides and exercises are named “<lecture number >-<some informative name>.pdf”. For example the slides from the lecture on May 4th are named “02-resistive-temperature.pdf” since this is the second course and it deals with temperature sensing using resistors. 2 The following material from “Sensors and Actuators: Engineering System Instrumentation, Second Edi- tion” needs to be studied in combination with the various lectures: Lecture Reading Topic 1.
