Introduction
The course provides basic knowledge of systems, units and functions in process control and industrial automation.
Recommended preliminary courses
Builds on ELFE1000 Mathematics and ELPE1100 Physics and Chemistry and Dynamic Systems
Required preliminary courses
In order to take the laboratory course in the course, an approved laboratory course in Dynamic Systems, ELTS2300, or equivalent qualifications is required.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:
Knowledge
The student has basic knowledge of industrial instrumentation, control engineering and programming of programmable logic controllers, i.e.:
- intuitive control
- analysis of simple unit operations for control purposes
- process simulation
- PID controllers
- synthesis based on analyses of Bode plots
- multivariable control techniques
- systems design
- Kalman filtering
- building automation
Skills
The student is capable of:
- analysing systems with regard to systems design and control engineering, and automating large-scale and small-scale industrial processes
General competence
The student:
- has an overall, detailed understanding of the automation of industrial processes in a project-related and operations-technical perspective
- has insight into the operation of industrial processes and how this is implemented in an efficient, financially sound manner
Teaching and learning methods
Lectures and laboratory assignments are central in the teaching.
Course requirements
The following coursework is compulsory and must be approved before the student can sit the exam:
- 4 compulsory exercises, estimated time 4 hrs each
- 4 compulsory lab assignment estimated time 4 hrs each
Assessment
Individual written exam, 3 hours
The exam result can be appealed.
Permitted exam materials and equipment
