Automation of technological processes

Summary

The course provides students with a comprehensive overview of the automation of technological processes with a focus on industrial applications. Students will become familiar with the key principles of automation, types of control systems, and their practical applications. They will learn to work with logical control systems, regulatory circuits, and programmable logic controllers (PLCs).
Emphasis is placed on sensors, measurement technology, actuators, and industrial communication networks, which form the basis of automated systems. Students will understand the principles of controlling technological processes, including feedback systems and their stability. They will be introduced to the concept of SCADA and HMI systems and their roles in industrial automation.
Upon completing the course, students will be able to analyze technological processes, design basic regulatory circuits, and apply their knowledge in practice. They will learn to use simulation models for testing automated systems and understand the principles of Industry 4.0.
