Lecture Process Control Engineering 1

Overview

Structure: V/Ü/P: 2/0/0
Period: summer semester

Link to OPAL course: Lecture Process Control Engineering 1

Content

The lecture Process control engineering discusses the design and mode of operation of a process control system and enables the students to deal with the planning and implementation of control systems. At the start of the lecture, the task, the structure and the mode of operation will be discussed. Based on that, methods for the structuring of plant (PLS-Engineering) in the process industry will be examined closely. After a short introduction to the IEC 61131 standard, automation tasks will be described in exercise in an object and function oriented manner by using parameterizable, individual control functions. Complex logic and functions will be specified in an information flow oriented function module language or in sequential function chart. The final part of the course will focus on methods for the usable design of man-machine (process) communication and rules for the design of alarm management systems, as well as on contrasting current developments in modular, service-oriented automation with the state of the art.

Further Information

The platform OPAL will be used to hold the courses. There, all scripts for the lectures, downloads and notifications will be published during the semester. The registration on OPAL takes place with the ZIH-Login of the TU Dresden. An unique enrollment is necessary.

Lecture Process Control Engineering 1

The lecture notes consist of the slide sets published on OPAL and a preprint of the textbook Process Control Systems Engineering. After registration and signature in the lecture you will get access to this preprint via  OPAL.

Practical Training

In the Lecture Process Control Engineering 1 all materials are provided and participation in the practicals is coordinated. More detailed information on the content and procedure of the practicals will be announced in the first course dates.
