Master's thesis deals with implementation of a control system for an electrodynamic exciter. Patent and literature research with focus on applicable control methods is performed. Then, description of the methods applicable in the system identification, as well as types of the signals used in the vibration testing are discussed. The practical section is dedicated to the analysis of available hardware resources, design, assembly and verification of a control system for an electrodynamic exciter equipped with piezoelectric accelerometer and components of National Instruments.
