Course detail
Process automation
FEKT-LAUPAcad. year: 2013/2014
The course LAUP is designed for students of second year of graduate studies. It is the last year of university studies and course graduates of LAUP after its completion are to join the development and programming teams to be ready for design and implementation of industrial control systems. The basic pillars of this work is the specification of the electrical components of the technological process, specification of input and output signals, control system design, a price quotation for the user, creating a PLC program, the creation of programs for control and visualization (SCADA / HMI), the design of industrial communication networks and the creation of application of MES system. For these activities must be responsible person able to create a timetable. Theoretical underpinnings is the knowledge of mathematical modeling of complex technological systems, model verification, modeling and numerical aspects of functional safety (IEC 61508 standard and related)

•Design of temperature systems. Example of a steam heat exchanger station
•Mathematical modeling of complex technological units. Selected problems of practical use of regulators. Identification of features of industrial equipments. Case study for power station design
•The issue of interference and noise immunity. Examples of typical sensors connected to the PLC and IPC
Laboratory exercises:
Repeat on the fundamentals of programming SIMATIC PLC (hardware configuration, the extension of analog signals (temperature)
Training InTouch application - using the simulated process of filling, heating and emptying the tank
The program to control the temperature in the tank. It will include a PLC program to simulate the process function of the tank and the PLC program control for the filling, heat and emptying the tank. All made in STL language. Control and vizualisation from InTouch system
BATCH programming system on a PC. In this system will be programmed process control functions filling, heating and emptying the tank from the previous task. The simulation function remains in the PLC program. As the BATCH system a module BATCH from the COMES system will be used . Vizualisation data from the project "filling, heating and emptying the tank" in MES (COMES)

Aims
The course is to prepare the student for entry into the design and programming teams to address the design and implementation of industrial control systems. The basic pillars of this course is to specify the electrical components of the technological process, specification of input and output signals, control system design, establish quotations for users to create programs for PLC, creating programs for control and visualization (SCADA / HMI), the creation of industrial communication networks and the creation of a MES system application. For these activities a responsible person must be able to create a schedule, to know the work flows of designing a process control system and its commissioning.
This course is teaching computer support the engineering work as well. A methodology of mathematical models is rolled out. The example of the practice is presented one possible method for creating models of complex systems. Here the students are being made familiar with the technical resources currently usable for modeling systems, including access to selected numerical solutions to problems that are often encountered in practice. Included is design of own dedicated simulator for a given technological functional unit. A practical approach is focused on selected issues of practical application controllers, identification of the characteristics of industrial equipment and case study design power.
