Actuators and their control

Every control loop includes an actuator. The automation engineer therefore needs to know how to take this actuator into account, and how to implement it in the control loop.

Objective: To give students the knowledge they need to take the most common actuators into account when integrating them in a control loop.

Modeling electro-mechanical systems

- Hydraulic actuators: technological design, modeling and control based on such actuators.
- Pneumatic actuators: technological design, modeling and control based on such actuators.
- Electrical actuators (DC motors, brushless motors and asynchronous motors): technological design, modeling and control based on such actuators.
