Instrumentation and Control first part
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
Design circuits to solve simple signal−conditioning and interfacing problems
Describe the principle of operation, characteristics, and use of a selection of common electrical sensors and actuators
Describe the concept of measurement and control systems, explain associated terminology, and perform calculations
Design simple transistor switching circuits, using a load−line, and transistor parameters
Describe the concept of measurement and control systems, explain associated terminology, and perform calculations on actual systems
Indicative Syllabus
This module introduces students to measurement and control systems. A range of sensors/actuators are examined, along with required signal−conditioning and digital interfacing.. Initially, students are introduced to basic electrical principles, along with some electronic components and applications of same.
