EDI615, 7,5 credits, G2 (First Cycle)

Valid for: 2013/14
Decided by: Education Board A
Date of Decision: 2013-04-15

General Information

Compulsory for: IDA2
Language of instruction: The course will be given in Swedish

Aim

The aim of the course is to give fundamental knowledge of the electronic components, that a computer will use to communicate with the environments ( interfacing). The aim is also to ratify the professional way for an engineer to work and to ratify the ability to, from given conditions, analyse and construct a system for measurement and steering.

Learning outcomes

Knowledge and understanding
For a passing grade the student must

• be able to explain the function of basic electronic components, that is used in interfacing techniques
• be able to explain the principles for how to adapt non-electrical quantities to a computer.

Competences and skills
For a passing grade the student must

• be able to dimension and construct simple electronic circuits of the computers interface
• be able to from given conditions, construct a system for measurement and steering
• be able to analyse an electro-mechanical system and then dimension a convenient bus-system, including sensors and controlers
• be able to show a solution of a interface problem in a technical report
• be able to from given conditions understand and evaluate the information given in manuals and technical documention of different circuits, that are used in interfacing techniques.

Contents

• Fundamental electronic components: transistor, diode, tyristor, diac, triac, relay, opt-components, opamp, ADC, DAC
• Amplifiers: small signal amplifiers and power amplifiers
• Power supply and noise suppressor
• Field bus: CAN-bus and Profi-bus, Opto-couplers
• Sensors: Mecanical sensors, termo sensors,. pressuare sensors, strain sensors, akustic sensors, optical sensors, flow sensors

Examination details
