Learning Outcomes
After completing the course, students will understand the structure and hierarchy of larger automation systems and be able to analyze their functional entities. They will master the principles of PC-based control systems for industrial automation and be able to program and use them in machine and industrial automation applications.
The student will be able to implement motion control solutions for different types of motors and to design and program user interfaces for industrial automation applications. They will understand the interfaces to cloud services at the control level and be able to use them for data processing and remote monitoring.
The student will be familiar with machine vision applications in industrial automation and robotics. The student will be able to implement and program machine vision systems for the most typical applications in robotics and quality control.
