The issue of interference and noise immunity. Examples of typical sensors connected to the PLC and IPC
Safety control systems. Standard 61508 Functional safety of E / E / EP

Laboratory exercises:
Repeat on the fundamentals of programming SIMATIC PLC (hardware configuration, the extension of analog signals (temperature)
Training InTouch application - using the simulated process of filling, heating and emptying the tank
The program to control the temperature in the tank. It will include a PLC program to simulate the process function of the tank and the PLC program control for the filling, heat and emptying the tank. All made in STL language. Control and vizualisation from InTouch system
BATCH programming system on a PC. In this system will be programmed process control functions filling, heating and emptying the tank from the previous task. The simulation function remains in the PLC program. As the BATCH system a module BATCH from the COMES system will be used . Vizualisation data from the project "filling, heating and emptying the tank" in MES (COMES)

Aims

The aim of the subject is to introduce the students to large process automation problems. Students will be introduced into the automation system design, safe standards, design standards and design procedures by design of control systems. The subject contains also computer aided design of control systems. One part of the subject is excursions into technological processes. Laboratories deal with PC oriented DCS and noise immunity. The last part of the subject deals with methods of sensor connection and teh Functional safety standard IEC 61508.
