1. General information
The purpose of the subject is to help the student know and handle with ease the theoretical contents that support the control of systems using the computer, so that they are able to: Understand the role of the computer as a control element, represent and analyse the behaviour of continuous systems and signals in the discrete domain; design discrete regulators; analyse systems in the frequency domain as well as model and analyse systems in state space.
These approaches and objectives are aligned with some of the Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs, of the 2030 Agenda and certain specific goals, in such a way that the acquisition of the learning results of the subject provides training and competence to the student to contribute to some extent to objective 8.2 of Goal 8.
2. Learning results
To design and implement the computer control of a system, selecting the most suitable technique based on control requirements and the context in which it is proposed.
To apply system identification techniques with the aim of extracting suitable mathematical models to be used in the control.
To simulate the behaviour of dynamic systems using the appropriate computer tools.
To design a distributed control hierarchy, solving both the communication needs between the different control elements and the computerized supervision of the whole system.

4. Academic activities
-In-person class (type T1) (30 hours).
-Master classes of theoretical and practical content.
-Classes on problem and case solving (type T2) (15 hours).
Students will participate in the development of problems and cases. These will be coordinated with the theoretical content.
-Laboratory practices (type T3) (15 hours).
The student carries out the simulation, implementation, and analysis of real automation and control systems.
-Study (type T7) (86 hours of independent work).
Personal study of the student of theoretical concepts and problem solving.
-Assessment tests (type T8) (4 hours).
5. Assessment system
According to the regulations of the University of Zaragoza, the evaluation of this subject is established as "Global". In each call, the evaluation will comprise two parts:
-Individual written test (80%). Graded from 0 to 8 points (CT). It will be held during the exam period. In it, the student will be evaluated on the set of learning results from both a theoretical and problem-solving perspective.
-Assessment of practical work (20%). Graded from 0 to 2 points (CP), it can be passed throughout the term (gradual test) or through a specific individual test during the evaluation period. In it, the student will be evaluated on the set of learning results from a practical work perspective.
In order to pass the subject, it is necessary to obtain CP grades higher than or equal to 1 and CT grades higher than or equal to 4. If the previous requirements are met, the overall grade for the subject will be (CP+CT). The subject is passed with an overall grade of 5 out of 10.
