Overall Educational Objective To learn the theory and application of process control systems involving PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) and SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) / HMI (Human Machine Interface) systems in addition to the implementation of different control techniques such as PI, PD and PID controllers into process control.
Course Description This course provides a comprehensive understanding of fundamentals of process control and the implementation of SCADA/HMI Systems into different processes from various engineering fields including electrical and electronics engineering. The following topics are covered: fundamentals of process control and process modeling, dynamic behavior of industrial processes, feedback and feedforward control, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), PLC programming and function block diagrams, industrial communication protocols, SCADA/HMI systems and SCADA system design.

Course Learning Outcomes and Competences

Upon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:
1) identify, formulate and solve the control system problems;
2) comprehend the mathematical modeling of control systems;
3) design control systems;
4) apply and demonstrate knowledge on control systems using modern engineering tools.
