The subject of the discipline “Automation Systems” is the study of stages of development and construction of industrial automation systems based on programmable logic controllers and programmable logic integrated circuits, as well as their programming languages and features of use.
Industrial automation systems are widely implemented in all industries. The main component of the technical implementation of any automation task is the use of programmable logic controllers and their subclass – programmable logic relays, which are programmed in the language of relay logic, which greatly simplifies the transition from outdated relay circuits to programmable logic. Modern digital devices, in turn, are built using programmable logic integrated circuits. Therefore, the training of specialists who will have skills in the development, synthesis and programming of industrial automation systems is an urgent task in a rapidly developing industry.
The purpose of the credit module is to form students’ abilities:
– ability to design digital means of automation based on FPGA;
– ability to program in FBD language in Quartus 2 software environment;
– competence in software development for automation systems;
– competence in designing the circuit of the basic electrical automation system.
