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.
This element gives an introduction and overview about the following aspects:
• You know the requirements on and the different types of controllers in closed-loop control systems.
• You know the single elements of a PID controller and their behaviour and mathematical descriptions.
• You are able to define suitable PID controller for different use-cases in mechatronics systems and to perform simulation and optimization based on computational models.
