Learning Outcomes
The student will be introduced to the most common fieldbuses used in the industry. He/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 technology of industrial Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC), how to configurate and program a PLC and how to use it in a fieldbus network.
