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 Description in Turkish Bu ders süreç kontrolünün temellerinin öğrenilmesini ve SCADA/HMI sistemlerinin başta elektrik-elektronik mühendisliği olmak üzere farklı mühendislik süreçlerinde uygulanmasının anlaşılmasını sağlamaktadır. Aşağıdaki konular kapsanacaktır: süreç kontrolünün ve modellenmesinin temelleri, endüstriyel süreçlerin dinamik davranışları, geri-beslemeli ve ileri-beslemeli kontrol, programlanabilir lojik kontrolörler, PLC programlama ve fonksiyonel blok diyagramlar, endüstriyel haberleşme protokolleri, SCADA/HMI sistemleri ve SCADA tasarımı.
