Supervisor: | Ing. Radek Poliščuk, Ph.D. | |||
Supervising institute: | ÚAI | |||
Teaching language: | Czech | |||
Aims of the course unit: | ||||
The aim of the subject is to introduce capabilities offered by programmable logical controlles (PLC) and modern control systems, as well as understanding of typical develeloper activities, from elementary definition of the hardware, work with process variables, principles and advantages of cyclic multitasking, through graphical user interfaces, up to the principles of State Machine programming in process control and drive management, all in simple laboratory applications. |
||||
Learning outcomes and competences: | ||||
The subject brings capability of practical orientation in engineering applications which require use of programmable control systems, selection of proper automation hardware, as well as development of control software for the related technological tasks. |
||||
Prerequisites: | ||||
Students are expected to have at least basic knowledge of the Automation theory, Electrotechnics, Control equipment, and work with textual or graphical programming languages. |
||||
Course contents: | ||||
The course extends the Automation and Control Equipment subjects with topics related to structure, parameters, programming and capabilities of modern industrial contol systems. The emphasis is placed mainly on the operation of programmable logical controllers (PLC) and complex multitask systems, in conjunction with the controlled I/O technology, drives, user interfaces, and and its direct integration into the "Industry 4.0" framework. |
||||
Teaching methods and criteria: | ||||
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work. |
||||
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes: | ||||
Course-unit credit requirements: Active participation in laboratory seminars, including successful elaboration of project software for the assigned tasks. |
||||
Controlled participation in lessons: | ||||
Attendance at lectures is recommended, attendance at laboratory seminars is required. It is at the teacher's discretion to decide how to make up for missed seminars. |
