Objective

The student undesrstands the structure and the functions of the hardware and software in distributed digital control system (DCS). The student can configure the basic application software loops for the laboratory process.

TSASO - Design competence
The student can design independently a proper process control according to an initial data.
TSAPL - Competence in processes, machines and systems
The student can configure an application software for measurements, final elements and control loops and test them.

EA-ER - Engineering practice
The student has an ability to test the configured application sotware and tune the control loops. The student can find and solve the malfunctions.

-hardware and software structure of distributed control systems
-fieldbuses and field devices

Materials

Handouts
Equipment manuals

Teaching methods

Automaatiosuunnittelu on luonnostaan ongelmalähtöistä ja siksi sitä käytetään myös oppimismenetelmänä. Konkreettisesti se tapahtuu kontaktituntien ja suunnitteluprojektin kautta. Suunnittelutehtävä toteutetaan pääasiassa itsenäisesti, mutta ohjausta annetaan kontaktituntien aikana ja video-ohjeistusten välityksellä.

Exam schedules

Opintojaksolla ei ole tenttiä.
