Course context for academic year 2013-14

 

This course addresses the application of modern automation of industrial processes, focusing on those involving chemical, to ensure that these are carried out effectively and autonomously. The most important equipment or device used as a controller these automatic systems is usually the PLC or PLC (Programmable Logic Controller).

Programmable controllers interact with an industrial chemical process through sensors and actuators or actuators. To supervise and monitor different processes ruled by robots, using other equipment with the highest level user interface application or SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition). Communication between controllers, which control the process and high level teams is done by industrial data networks, achieving automate processes, and also manage the production chain, reaching complete supervision of an industrial plant, which facilitates quality management according to ISO standards.

Industrial Automation In the course addresses all these issues in a comprehensive manner, in order to teach how to deal with the development of an automation project of an industrial chemical process.
