Selected chapters from complex mathematics 2. Discrete mathematical transformation (Z and L). Discrete Fourier transformation (FFT, DFT, etc.). 3. Mathematical models of regulation. 4. Damping system, transmission delays and other relevant characteristics of control systems. 5. Measurement of transient, frequency and phase characteristics of systems. Determination coefficients of transfer functions 6. Level regulation and regulatory properties of systems of this tip. 7. Proportional control and management. PWM - Algorithms for microcomputers. 8. Algorithms analog controllers P, I, D and their combinations, determining coefficients for stable control. 9. Digital controller P, I, D and their combinations, determining coefficients for stable control. 10. Adaptive control, practical principles and methods of adaptation. 11. Discrete control systems, Practical use state description. 12. Stability of discrete control systems 13 Properties of electrical and non-electrical sensors 14. Managing actuators, the role of feedbacks, etc. Content of practicals: Students develop and try out simple tasks in the field of regulation and management. For example, motion control, servo motors, linear robots, etc. Students submit a complete working model of the selected task.

Learning outcomes
The course aims to clarify thought processes in the design and implementation of control and regulation systems using physical quantities expressed discretely. Various variants of control and regulation software used in discrete controllers are discussed. MATLAB, Simulink and their libraries are also used for the design.
The student will look into the design of software for control systems. During the semester, students will gradually test the theoretical design of control (including modeling), practical software design to tests of their solution. Great emphasis is placed on fixed-point calculations.
Prerequisites
Knowledge of mathematics of complex variables, solution of differential equations. Next to know the basics of modeling in MATLAB.

Assessment methods and criteria
Student performance assessment, Seminar work, Interim evaluation

Elaboration of a semester work. Continuous methodological outputs.
