Automotive Mechatronics Developer

MOOC - Automotive Mechatronics Developer

Introduction of Control Engineering

Die training unit introduces into the field of automotive mechatronics and the boundary conditions of mechatronics product development, addressing:

• Notion of Control

• Feedback Control vs. Feedforward Control

• Basic Modelling and Simulation Concepts

Also the unit introduces and discussed the definition of PID-controllers and their application in different use-cases of automotive mechatronics systems. And the unit finally treats the definition of simulation of feedback loops and their applications, as well as the set-up of simulation-based development of control systems.


Basic Modelling and Simulation Concepts:

This element gives an introduction and overview about the following aspects:

• You understand the procedures of modelling control cycles in mechatronics systems.

• You know the simulation concepts of control systems.

• You are able to develop simulation models and to apply the proper algorithms for the simulation of control cycles of mechatronics systems.
