The study programme Control of Machines and Processes is focused on the control of machines and the control of processes. As a machine you can imagine different production equipment and its subsystems, just as their grouping, it can be a robot, autonomous systems or mechatronic systems. The process can be not only a production technology in different fields of industry but also it can be the decision-making processes and control processes at the upper level of the production and manufacturing processes. The PhD student deepens knowledge from control systems components with the focus on microcontrollers, embedded control systems, PLCs and industrial PCs in connection with the topic of the dissertation. He extends one’s knowledge in the control systems design for machine or process control, measurement technology and sensors, actuators including the hydraulic and pneumatic drives. He makes his knowledge of the design of the control algorithms for different control levels of the hierarchical control system deeper. He concentrates on logical control, continuous and discrete control methods, process visualization, analysis of dynamic systems and their modelling, identification and simulation and use of this expertise in the design of machine or process control. He gains his experience with the practical use of different software like MATLAB, Simulink, LabView, ANSYS, Fluent etc.

Study

The graduate of the doctoral study programme acquires a deep and systematic knowledge from theoretical methods in the field of Control of Machines and Processes, particularly in Automatic Control, System Analysis, Diagnostics, Modelling and Simulation, Signal Processing and Control Systems as well as he obtains knowledge from Applied Informatics and Industrial Hierarchical Control Systems including Measurement and Signal Processing in engineering, automotive industry and also in non-manufacturing sector. He is able to apply the knowledge and deep understanding of the cognition in the field of study by individual solving of the given problem, as well as by leading the team. The graduate of the doctoral study programme is able to propose and use the scientific methods of control of the machines and processes, he masters the experimental methods in the field of measurement, diagnostics and simulation of dynamic systems and physical and technological processes and implementation of the control systems.
