Objetivos

It is intended to give students the ability to understand and describe the operation of an automatism and to design and carry out its command part based on programmed technologies.

To make students aware of the main standard for programmable logic controlers (PLC) programming and to give them the ability to design and carry out programs using programming systems and languages built on this standard.

Give students the ability to carry out an industrial automation project. Make known the capabilities of communications networks used in industrial automation and the ways in which they can be useful, as well as more specific knowledge about some of these networks.

Resultados de aprendizagem e competências

At the end of the semester, the successful student must:
1 - Be able to design the command of an automated system and implement it using programmed technologies. Be able to conveniently describe, using standardized methodologies and notation, the functioning and constitution of an automatism.

2 - Know and know how to use the concepts and programming languages included in the IEC-61131-3 standard on PLC programming. Must know typical data structures and methods of description of algorithms and program organization. Must know and be able to apply the programming concepts and methodologies described by the IEC 61131-3 standard. In particular, he must be able to conceive, describe and implement the project of the command of an automatism, using these concepts and those programming languages. It manages to transpose and apply this knowledge using at least one specific automaton in the laboratory.

3 - Carry out all the parts of an automation project using standard design techniques and symbology. To do this, the student must know the design methodologies for process automation including their interaction with the outside world, the operating modes and safety aspects, test and validation methods and documentation.

4 - Knows the structure and concepts associated with a serial, point-to-point or point-to-multipoint communication network. Know how to use some industrial networks and their protocols, eg: Profibus, Modbus and AS-i. Understand the structure and funtions of a supervised distributed automation system.

Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem

In theoretical-practical classes, the subjects are exposed, sometimes using slide projections, other times on the blackboard. In the exposition, in addition to framing and approaching the various technical aspects of the subjects, examples are presented. For most subjects, after their presentation, students are asked to solve exercises and answer questions, which help them to understand the subjects and obtain the ability to put them into practice.

The laboratory classes are dedicated to solving automation programming problems. In the initial classes, a programming tool for the PLC used throughout the course is exposed. In each class, problems are proposed to students, which allow them to progressively use more language skills and at the same time allow them to practice and apply the methodologies and project tools exposed in the theoretical-practical classes. The programming skills acquired by each student are tested in a practical programming test before the student can start preparing the CU project.

The final classes are dedicated to assisting students in the elaboration of an industrial system automation project. The project takes place during the laboratory classes and the student must dedicate preparation time outside these classes to make the best use of them. The project is in most cases done in a work group of 2 students or in exceptional cases of 1 or 3 students. The teacher helps students in preparing the project, clarifying doubts, drawing attention to errors, suggesting solutions. The project, however, is a task that must be carried out relatively autonomously by each group of students.
