This paper describes a novel E-training developed for teaching mechatronics. The training has been developed as part of the Leonardo da Vinci lifelong learning programs and MeRLab project. The primary target group are engineers or technicians who have already completed formal education, but have no knowledge of mechatronics, although their job requires it. For this training, the complete e-learning materials with text, animations, graphical presentations, electronic tests and remote experiments have been developed. The training has been executed with a group of 70 participants. 90% of participants have successfully finished this quite extensive training.
F.17 Transfer of existing technologies, know-how, methods and procedures into practice
COBISS.SI-ID: 15548182The conference presents an important professional event for the field of industrial control in Slovenia, which is organized biannually. It involves around 150 experts from economy, research and education departments, covers main local (and representative) companies involved with automation in Slovenia, and it is supported by local and regional media. Research and application results are presented and published in conference proceedings.

COBISS.SI-ID: 66747393This study presents the implementation of a hybrid control strategy that is applied to a brushless AC (BLAC) motor drive. Hybrid control is a general approach for control of switching-based hybrid systems (HS). This class of HS includes a continuous process, controlled by a discrete controller with a finite number of states. The overall stability of the system is shown with the use of Lyapunov technique. The Lyapunov functions contain a term that penalises incremental energy of control error, torque and stator current, which enhances the stability. The closed-loop system, with the proposed control law, provides good transient response and good regulation of the BLAC motor control. A new logical field programmable gate array current (torque) controller is developed, based on the Lyapunov theory. The reference tracking performance of speed and torque (current) is demonstrated in terms of transient characteristics through simulation and experimental results.
