Industrial Control Systems and Communications

The course is a substitute for:

Industrial Control Systems and Communications (X35PSS)

Lecturer:

Tutor:

Supervisor:

Department of Control Engineering

Synopsis:

Subject Industrial control systems and communications deals with automation in industry at the technology level. The main emphasis is put especially on the application of programmable logic controllers and industrial communication networks - hardware equipment, software approach types in higher level and their modelling and verification. Students get information about testing of Profibus communication. The basic knowledge of PLCs (Programmable logic controllers) is necessary.
