Summary
The course provides a fundamental overview of technological process automation and its application in industrial practice. Students will become familiar with the principles of measurement, control, and regulation of technological processes, as well as with the main components of automated systems, including sensors, actuators, controllers, and programmable logic controllers (PLCs).
Attention is given to SCADA and HMI systems, industrial communication networks, the safety of automated systems, and the use of robotics in technological processes. The course also covers the fundamentals of simulation and modelling of automated systems, the optimization of technological processes, and applications of automation across various industrial sectors. Students will gain a basic understanding of current trends in industrial automation and the Industry 4.0 concept.
Professional Knowledge
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:
- explain the basic principles of technological process automation;
- describe the functions of sensors, actuators, and control elements;
- characterize the principles of PLC, SCADA, and HMI systems;
- explain the role of industrial communication networks in automated systems;
- describe the applications of robotics and automation in industrial practice.
Professional Skills
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:
- distinguish the basic components of automated systems;
- interpret the functions of individual automation system components;
- analyse simple technological processes from an automation perspective;
- assess the suitability of selected automation technologies for a specific application;
- use simulation tools to demonstrate the principles of automated systems.
General Competencies
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:
- orient themselves in the fundamental approaches to technological process automation;
- search for and interpret professional information related to industrial automation;
- understand the relationship between automation, production efficiency, and process quality;
- follow current trends in industrial automation and Industry 4.0.
