Study Notes
-
Human Intervention: Mechanical systems that don't require human intervention or self-governing systems.
-
Mechanization + Self-governing Systems: Mechanical systems with feedback-control mechanisms, like steam engines, that can control their speed to remain in a pre-defined range.
-
Automation History:
- Electronic Computers and Integrated Circuits: Enabled electronic operations, control, speed, and accuracy, invading business offices besides factories and transportation.
- Sensors Technology Improvement: Offered more input and feedback control options without human intervention.
- AI: Optimizes itself, learns from historical data, and possibilities are endless.
-
Automation Requirements:
- Power source: Usually electricity.
- Feedback control: System has a pre-defined goal and measures current progress to either stabilize or modify state to reach it.
-
Machine Programming: Commands stored on the ROM of the controller and executed by the system.
-
Automation Examples:
- Car Cruise System: Stabilizes vehicle speed within a pre-defined range.
