Objective
After completing this course, you will be able to
- explain the layers of the OSI network model and describe the role of main protocols used in communication networks
- present the arrangement and components of a process control system used in a process plant
- design and configure simple automation networks and fieldbus applications
- program and commission instrumentation and motor loops of power plant automation.
Content
How do communication standards, cloud services and the Internet of Things (IoT) affect industrial networks and the development of digitalization in industrial applications?
How is a measurement signal transferred from a sensor to a remote control room of a power plant, or a command signal from an operator to a controlled actuator?
Which hardware and software tools do you need to be able to connect a smart level transmitter to an available control system?
How are you able to improve the safety of power production using programmed forced control and redundancy?
