Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will be equipped by an overview on distributed systems of industrial automation (DCS) and means for supervisory control as operator modules and stations. They will be oriented in the wide scale of means of automation from sensors, industrial controllers and other types of controllers and actor members. They will have a good overview in industrial communication buses and programmable controllers.
