Requisites
Pre-requisite: (ELE2101 or ELE2103) and ELE3105 and MEC2501 or Students must be enrolled in the following program: MENS or MEPR
Overview
This course aims to consolidate the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier courses and demonstrates their application to industrial processes. In doing so it will help reinforce the solid foundation the students require to identify processes and design control systems and HMIs and evaluate the safety and reliability of process control systems.
This is the capstone course in the Instrumentation Control and Automation major. Students will identify, quantify and model subsystems within standard industrial processes. They will gain an appreciation of the safety and reliability aspects of system design.
Course learning outcomes
On successful completion of this course students should be able to:
- Select and apply suitable signal conditioning techniques in an industrial system
- Demonstrate an awareness of the importance of applying the relevant standards and safety lifecycles to process control systems, and be able to apply simple analysis tools.
- Develop mathematical models for simulation of industrial systems
- Implement and evaluate practical loop control systems
- Identify and apply key principles of operator interface and SCADA system design
- Communicate technical information in a professional manner.
