Learning Outcomes
The student will be introduced to the most common fieldbuses used in the industry. She will learn how to create a local, as well as a distributed system using both the internet and a fieldbus network. The student will also learn the components used in a fieldbus network.
Student's Workload
81 h, which contains 42 h of scheduled contact studies.
The assessment of student’s own learning 1 h is included in contact lessons.
Prerequisites / Recommended Optional Courses
Local Area Networks, Principles of Telecommunications, Sensor and Control Technology.
Contents
The student will design a networked embedded system using standard industrial protocols, such as Modibus and Profibus. The system will be connected to the internet. The student will learn how to build a network, and she will study the related cyber security issues. Classification of industrial communication systems, their types, topologies and characteristics. Protocols (FMS, DP and PA). Fieldbus access methods. Components and devices in a fieldbus network. Applications of profibus in some common industrial control and automation systems.
