Measurement and control designLaajuus (5 cr)
Code: PP00EV21
Credits
5 op
Objective
This course is aiming at creating an overview of process automation design, its parts and phases. The main points of interest are selecting instruments and connecting them to control systems. In addition, important points of interest are control logic and feedback control principles, motor control, and programming principles in PLCs and DCSs. The course includes a core content part of 40 %, and an additional part of 60 % concerning in-work learning and personal projects related to the core content topics. After completing the course, participants are capable to
• select and document commonly used instruments to basic automation loops
• design and document connecting instruments and motors using analogue and digital data transfer
• describe the properties of advanced control and identify the need of advanced control algorithms
• explain programming principles based on macro blocks, at least in one DCS
• work out simple PLC control logic applications based on combination logic
• specify main hardware and software principles of safety automation.
Content
How do we understand the design fields instrumentation design and system design?
Which components are needed in automation networks?
How do we work out clear, text-based functional loop descriptions and functional diagrams?
When do we need advanced control algorithms, and when is simple control logic or PID control feasible?
How do we design macro block based applications in distributed control systems (DCS)?
How do we design control logic applications in programmable logic controllers 8PLC)?
Which components are needed in safety automation applications?

Opiskelumateriaali
Opintojaksolla käytettävä opiskelumateriaali on kokonaisuudessaan Xamkin oppimisympäristössä.
Kyseessä on osittain verkossa toteutettava opintojakso ja sen aineisto ja linkkipolut muihin käytettyihin aineistoihin löytyy opintojakson Learn oppimisympäristöstä.
Yksilölliset oppimisväylät
Opintojakso koostuu aikataulutetusta iltaopetuksesta, klo 17 - 20:00 ja omaehtoisesta opiskelusta, jolloin opiskelija voi suorittaa sen oman yksilöllisen aikataulunsa mukaisesti annettujen aloitus- ja päättymispäivien puitteissa.
Opintojakso on osa Prosessiautomaation projektitoiminta (yamk) –koulutuksen ydinopintoja.
Opintojaksolla on kontaktiopetusta arki-iltaisin klo 17 - 20:00 (verkkokokous)
Opintojaksoon kuuluu esim.
- ennen kontaktiopetusta tehtäviä ennakkotehtäviä
- kontaktiopetuksen aikana tehtäviä tuntitehtäviä sekä
- omaehtoisesti määräaikaan palautettuja kotitehtäviä
TKI ja työelämäyhteistyö
Opiskeluaineisto ja etätunnit sisältävät käytännön yritysesimerkkejä ja niistä saatuja kokemuksia.
Kukin opiskelija tekee omaan työnkuvaan liittyvän projektityön ja esittelee sen ryhmälleen.
Tentit ja muut määräajat
Opintojaksolla ei ole tenttiä vaan arviointi perustuu ennakko-, tunti- ja kotitehtävistä saatuihin pisteisiin.
Annetut tehtävät tulee palauttaa aina määräaikaan mennessä.

Assessment methods and criteria
Opintojaksolla ei ole tenttiä vaan arviointi perustuu ennakko-, tunti- ja kotitehtävistä saatuihin pisteisiin.
Annetut tehtävät tulee palauttaa aina määräaikaan mennessä. Myöhästymiset vähentävät pisteitä 5-10% per alkava viikko, riippuen annetusta tehtävästä.
