ININ4057_MEDINA ININ 4057 - Process Automation

Department of Industrial Engineering

Course Description

Use ofcomputer based controllers to control processes using digital signals.

Purpose

This course is required for thebachelor of science degree in Industrial Engineering. The purpose of the course is to introduce students to the computer-based process automation.The course does not serve as a prerequisite for any other course, but the knowledge acquired can be used in the Senior Project, InIn 4079.

Course Goals

At the completion of the course the students will be able to:

  • Identify and use industrial sensors and actuators as main components of a process
  • Creatively integrate electric, pneumatic and mechanical systems to automate a process.
  • Formulate and code the control logic to run a process in real time
  • Use of software to build a Human Machine Interface
