This course is composed of theory and practical assignments which investigate control theory of multi-axis servo controlled systems. The interface of master/slave/co-processor MPU's, primary and secondary memories, floppy-disk drives, I/O facilities, "E-stop" facilities, and servo PID loops. Regulated power supplies and multi-phase transformers are also investigated. The service and maintenance of automated systems (Control and mechanical units). The use of appropriate test equipment and methods of troubleshooting is stressed.
