Course Description
Use of computer based controllers to control processes using digital signals.
Purpose
This course is required for the bachelor 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.
