Summary
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
In this course, students will be introduced to basic concepts such as Industry 4.0, general information systems and control system programming environments. The main concept of the course is to acquaint students with microprocessor technology with a focus on PLC controller, which are nowadays an integral part of engineering as production lines, machinery manufacturing, etc. Students will learn about hardware platforms and software tools for configuring and programming these systems. Students will be able to connect a control system to the network, configure it, to work with its peripherals, think creatively and create programs, including interaction with the superior level with visualization SCADA systems.
