A – Theoretical

1. ) Industrial Sensors
2. ) Automation systems programming (Discrete event control systems specification methods: Grafcet; Functional safety systems), based on IEC Standard
3. ) Industrial Actuators (Electro-pneumatic control systems; Electric control systems)
4. ) Specification of automation installations (Schematic design of automation (electrical diagrams); Project documentation)
5. ) Automation and Supervision Networks (HMI; SCADA Systems; Most important Industrial Networks: Ethercat, Profinet)

B – Practical

1. Introduction to the programming environment –> valences, program simulation and hardware simulation
2. Standardizing knowledge of digital numbering
3. Standardizing concepts of logic gates, equivalent electrical diagrams and basic ladder logic diagrams
4. Introduction to Grafcet, and state-space based systems with online simulators
5. Introduction to the programming environment | Use of timers and counters
6. Control of a signal tower
7. Controlling a garage door | Controlling the filling of a tank
8. HMI consoles | concepts and programming

Note: For classifications above 16, students must do an extra assignment, one and only one of the two to be delivered to the professor responsible for the UC:

1. ) Implementation of function blocks for use in Ladder, to abstract the configuration of variable speed drives
