Course
Objectives:
|
|
|
|
The
API course is intended to provide students with the ability to solve automation
problems. To this end, methodologies for
analysis and synthesis of discrete event systems are studied, in the form
of supervisory controllers that are implemented in industrial devices. Training on the following components will be deepened:
|
|
|
|
Systems analysis for
industrial automation.
|
|
Methodologies for the
implementation of solutions in industrial automation.
|
|
Programmable Logic
Controllers (PLCs) Languages.
|
|
Computer Numerical
Control (CNC) machines.
|
|
Modeling Discrete
Event Systems (DESs).
|
|
Supervision of
Industrial Automation Processes.
|
|
|
|
Evaluation rules:
|
The grading is based in three
laboratory assignments (20% each) and a final exam (40%). The third
laboratory assignment is on a related theme with API and that should be
agreed with each of the groups. Each laboratory group consists of up to
four students. Each week, each group delivers a follow-up sheet for
completing the laboratory and at the end of each work, a final report is
delivered. The minimum grade for each evaluation component, i.e. laboratory
or exam, is 9 points. The 2nd written exam can be replaced by an oral exam.
Extra value will be given to students who attend more than 70% of the
theoretical classes and take summaries of the classes. Final grades higher
than 17 values require an oral test to confirm the grade. In the case of
not taking an oral test to confirm the grade, the final grade will be 17
points.

summaries of the classes. It is suggested to use Google-docs / Create
Spreadsheet / File import (upload file): API_summaries.xls.
