Industrial Systems for Data Acquisition and Transfer

Prerequisite:

Programming of Single Chip Microcomputers and Microcontrollers (X38MIP)

Lecturer:

Tutor:

Supervisor:

Department of Measurement

Synopsis:

Initially the centralized and distributed concept is presented for measurement, control and data acquisition systems. Lectures are then focused on widely used laboratory and industrial distributed system standards like CAN, Profibus, HART, Modbus , VME/VXI and PCI/PXI, USB and wireless sensor networks (ZigBee, WiFi). The goal is to provide information that is necessary for design and implementation of open laboratory and industrial systems. Students are also acquainted with basic steps for hardware and software implementation of communication interfaces.

Requirements:
