Learning objectives

Objectives of the course are the student knows the requirements set by the energy processes for instrumentation and knows the functions and selection criteria of different field devices. Student is able to use the functions made possible by automation technology in the control of energy-producing processes and is familiar with the characteristics and operation of automation systems. The student becomes acquainted with the properties of measuring devices required by different processes and is able to dimension the right type of device for each object. He knows how to select the various actuators needed in process control and is able to dimension them correctly. The types of signals and the cabling, buses and wireless connections required to transmit measurement messages become familiar. The interface units of the devices and the processing and editing of messages between the systems are learned on a practical level.
