Automated Industrial Systems II

Description

This course provides a comprehensive overview of smart industrial automation technologies and their applications in modern industries. It covers advanced PLC programming functions and their utilization in industrial systems and closed-loop process control. Students will explore PC-based data acquisition systems, SCADA architectures, generations, terminologies, and functions, as well as practical SCADA/HMI applications. The course further examines local, centralized, and decentralized control systems, with emphasis on Distributed Control System (DCS) architectures, features, and real-world examples. A comparative analysis of PLC, SCADA, and DCS in industrial environments is provided, alongside an introduction to industrial communication technologies and protocols. The course concludes with case studies—such as HMI integration with smart devices—and project discussions to bridge theory with practice.
