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. Special attention will be paid to the real time control system design. 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 input modules of DCS and PLC and connection of sensors with consideration on noisy immunity.
