Intelligent measurement, diagnostic and control systems

Abstract

Paper deals with problems of „intelligent“, alternatively „smart“ measurement, diagnostic and control systems. These one acquire on present time the hard importance as a new group of technical means. The great numbers of world producers vend fairly wide range of products and devices from „smart sensors“, over „smart instrumentation“, further more „smart controllers“, to „smart or intelligent actuators“.Term „intelligent systems“ is also conform or even misapply (primarily from the marketing reasons point of view) with the program solution of non-traditional or more less standard control functions and with them connected algorithms. On the contribution are summarized the basic views on the „intelligent“ devices and connected with them „advanced, or robust control algorithms“, which are acceptable for theirs installation at the industrial practice.
