In order to take this subject to the best advantage, the student must have acquired the knowledge derived from obtaining the competences related to the basic subjects and common to the industrial branch of mathematics, physics, computer science, electrical and electronic technology and feedback control.

The subject of digital control allows students to acquire knowledge of automatic regulation and control techniques and their application to industrial automation which, complemented by those acquired in other specific subjects, will facilitate the application of their skills in the world of work and, in the end, will help the engineer to face the problems that will arise throughout the exercise of the profession.
