The lab sessions are organized into 3 projects that will be developed
along the different sessions.

Project 1: Control of a DC motor

- Session 1: Dynamic systems and variables of interest
- Session 2: Identification of a dynamic system
- Session 3: Simulation of dynamic systems
- Session 4: Temporal response de dynamic systems
- Session 5: Velocity Control using a proportional controller
- Session 6: Steady-state errors and disturbance rejection
- Session 7: Position control

Project 2: Control of a mass positioning system

- Session 8: System Modelling and Identification
- Sessions 9 and 10: Controller design using root locus
- Session 11: Frequency identification: Bode Diagrams

Project 3: Control of a ball and beam system

- Session 12: System Modelling and Identification
- Session 13: Controller Design. Influence of measurement noise

Besides the expositive classes and the lab sessions, a seminar will be
held. The objective of this seminar is to present real cases of
automatic regulation of systems.

The lab sessions are organized into projects, so that the students obtain a global view of all the steps required to implement a controller for a real system.

Students with special educational needs should contact the Student Attention Service (Servicio de Atención y Ayudas al Estudiante) in order to receive the appropriate academic support

To pass the course the student must:
- Attend to all the lab sessions (she can make up for at most one
  session).
- Pass the theory and problems exam. This means obtaining a minimum
  score of 5 over 10. This mark is 80% of the final mark for the
  course.
- Pass the lab sessions. The mark is composed of the lab session mark
  provided by the teacher in the lab (max. 2.5 pts) and the mark
  obtained in the practical exam (max. 7.5 pts). The total lab
  mark is 20% of the final mark, and is only considered if the theory
  and problems exam is passed.

Practical exam evaluates competences:  CT4 y CEL5
Results: 12, 13, 14 y 15.

Theory exam evaluates competences: CT4  y CEL5

Results: 11, 13, 14 y 15.

Taking part actively in the lab sessions evaluates the competences CB2R, CB3R, CB4R, CB5R.

TEACHING METHODOLOGY AND FORMATIVE ACTIVITIES

The School could modify the percentage of face-to-face  ratio depending on the number of students and the capacity of the room/lab according to the sanitary recommendations. In case of face-to-face ratio lower than 100%, a periodic rotation of the students will be implemented according to the guidelines of the School.

Institution in charge of data processing: Universidad de Jaén, Campus Las Lagunillas, s/n, 23071 Jaén

Data Protection Delegate: dpo@ujaen.es

Purpose: In accordance with the Universities Law and other national and regional regulations in force, carrying out exams and assessment tests corresponding to the courses students are registered in. In order to avoid frauds while sitting the exam, the exam will be answered using a videoconference system, being able the academic staff of the University of Jaén to compare and contrast the image of the person who is answering the exam with the student's photographic files. Likewise, in order to provide the exam with evidential content for revisions or claims, in accordance with current regulation frameworks, the exam will be recorded and stored.

Legitimacy: compliance with legal obligations (Universities Law) and other national and regional regulations currently in force.

Addressees: service providers who are the owners of the platforms where the exams are carried out and with whom the University of Jaén has signed the corresponding data access contracts.

Storage periods: those established in current in force regulations. In the specific case of exam videoconference recordings, not before the examination records and transcripts are closed or the exam can still be reviewed or challenged.

Rights: you can exercise your right of access, amendment, cancellation, opposition, suppression, limitation and portability by sending a letter to the postal or electronic address indicated above. In the event that you consider that your rights have been violated, you may submit a complaint to the Andalusian Council for Transparency and Data Protection www.ctpdandalucia.es
