| Text: | The paper deals with main principles of total quality management (TQM) with application to the area of university education processes, where TQM tools were used in approach to the design of new laboratory education forms by realization of physical lab model hot-air plant (HAP). Stand lab HAP presents function module of air conditioning and it is used on the experimental laboratory education for all study forms, not only on the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering VSB-TU of Ostrava, but also on other seven technical faculties at Czech Republic. Stand HAP allows to realized by TQM principles all-important tasks connected with: - identification of static and dynamic system and sensors properties, - intuitive even experimental verification of controller synthesis results, - verification of the new control algorithms (fuzzy, neuron, genetic, ...).
Laboratory stand HAP is also used for demonstration of function multilevel control systems in environment of the program support SCADA/MMI on the Web environment (INTERNET/INTRANET). Air condition plant HAP allows to connect the approach with simulation program tools (for instance SIPRO) with physical function model, which is much more similar to real industrial plant with all its function defects (noise, nonlinear properties of sensors and actuators, disturbances, etc.). |
