Organization of the course
• instrumentation: hardware:
how is the state of a plant read and controlled
• controllers: hardware and software how controllers operate and how they are programmed
• industrial communication networks: how are real-time data exchanged, in the field and in
the plant
• application protocols for devices
how do devices appear to the programmer and operator
• software interface to application:
how does the application accesses the process data
• operator interface and SCADA
how do operators see the plant they supervise
• manufacturing execution systems
how is production planned and executed
• plant configuration and engineering how is a control system planned, engineered and tested
• failures in a control system
how to deal with unreliable elements in a control system
• safety
how to evaluate and prevent safety hazards
• standards
how standards help the industry
