Course syllabus spring 2025

  • Course Aim

    After the course, the student shall be able to:

    1. Select sensors and actuators for synthesizing solutions for Industrial Automation problems

    2. Analyze a real life problem from an industrial automation perspective, understand what is effective, what is not, judge based on an engineering and cost oriented thinking.

    3. Identify and Select proper sensory and actuation equipments for synthesizing and integrating industrial automation tasks.

    4. Integrate and Synthesize a classical relay based industrial automation.

    5. Integrate, Synthesize and Program a PLC based industrial automation.

    6. Design a PCB based Industrial Automation.

    7. Analyze, Integrate and Combine Electro Pneumatic-Hydraulic Automation with relay or PLC based industrial automation.

    8. Select and Utilize Industrial Networks for Industrial Automation Networks.

    9. Tune PID controllers for the Process Control Industry.

    Contents

    The course covers a number of central concepts of Industrial Automation such as: basic automation elements, hardware components for Automation and Process Control, the latch principle, Industrial Automation synthesis, logical design for automation, electro pneumatic automation, industrial networks, basic programming in PLC and the PID at the industry.

    Realization

    Each course occasion´s language and form is stated and appear on the course page on Luleå University of Technology's website.

    Lectures, problem demonstration sessions, and laboratory work (Industrial Automation Experimental Setups).

    Examination

    If there is a decision on special educational support, in accordance with the Guideline Student's rights and obligations at Luleå University of Technology, an adapted or alternative form of examination can be provided.

    Mandatory laboratory assignments (differentiated grades) with written reports and written exam with differentiated grades.

    Unauthorized aids during exams and assessments

    If a student, by using unauthorized aids, tries to mislead during an exam or when a study performance is to be assessed, disciplinary measures may be taken. The term “unauthorized aids” refers to aids that the teacher has not previously specified as permissible aids and that may assist in solving the examination task. This means that all aids not specified as permissible are prohibited. The Swedish version has interpretative precedence in the event of a conflict.
