• Semester 4, position 4

Introduction to basic concepts in the field of automatic control and training for the implementation and verification of acquired knowledge in concrete physical systems and processes. Introduction to the various digital control platforms and integration of different platforms in a single control and supervisory entirety. Implementation and integration of control algorithms and realization of a chosen project to the level of full functionality under real operating conditions.

Getting basic knowledge of automation systems and different platforms to manage and control technical facilities and processes. Mastering different engineering software tools for programming components for management and control. Mastering the basic principle of operation of different computer equipment and components used for the realization of control and supervision of technical facilities and processes. Mastering the basics of programming of individual components in the appropriate programs that are specially designed for the equipment. Students learn to integrate different systems and platform management into a single entity for the management and supervision of the entire system.

Introduction to basic concepts and terms in the field of automatic control (AC). Basic concepts of AC. Control systems of basic physical values (position, level, pressure, flow, temperature, speed, ...) are illustrated on the most common objects and processes in the field of mechanical and energy systems. Basic dynamic and static characteristics and quality indexes of the system in the time domain. Conventional control algorithms - PID controller. Various protocols for the transmission of signals as a material carriers of information between subsystems in the whole technical system. Digital data transfer protocols: EIB/KNX bus, Modbus, Profinet, BACnet, LON, DALI, DMX. The software environment for programming components on the various control protocols and data transfer protocols. Tunig of the controller parameters and parameter settings of individual blocks by the software tools environment.

Demonstration of functional capabilities of particular components of control systems on different control platforms. Demonstration of digital data transfer protocol: EIB / KNX bass, Modbus, Profinet, BACnet, LON, DALI, DMX. Getting to know the various programming tools for different pltforme management and monitoring control systems. Hardware integration of individual components in systems management. Demonstration of component features depending on the program parameters and setting appropriate program parameters for quality of work of each component in the overall control system. Procedures for testing and operation verification of different systems. Programming individual components through odgovarajiućih program and its link to a rare inside unit management and supervision. Testing the overall system for control and monitoring.

No conditions
