Syllabus | 2 | - | 6 | 63 | 162 |
- Get to know application domains of Automation Systems
- Understand Discrete Event Automation Systems
- Know methodologies for design of such systems
- Know underlying Automation Technologies
- Be able to design and implement Automation Systems of low to medium complexity
At the end of the Curricular Unit, the student should:
- Build and Interpret models
- Finite State Machines, Grafcet and Petri Nets
- Implement State Machines in Micro-Controllers and Programmable Logic Controllers
- Use Grafcet/ST to control Automatic Systems of low to medium complexity
- Understand a given "Specifications Contract" that could have been given by a customer
- Design and implement an Event Driven Automatic Control System, for problems of medium complexity
Basic algorithmic skills
* Introduction to Automation Systems:
- Main Application Domains
- Case Studies
- Systems types: discrete event vs. continuous time
* Methods for analysis and design of Discrete event systems in the scope of Automation Systems
- State Machines: Notion. Moore and Mealy. Extensions and application examples
- Grafcet: Fundamental issues (Stage, Transition, Condition, Action, Evolution). Study of classic problems: concurrency, synchronization, resource sharing and hierarchy). Advanced Notions (macro-actions and macro-Steps). Implementation - synchronous and asynchronous
- Petri Nets: Notion. Differences and modelling power. Introduction to extensions.
* Technologies: Principles of operation and applications spectrum of:
- Detectors: - Actuators - electromechanical, pneumatic and hydraulic
- Controllers: Architecture, programming and interfaces
-
1. Theoretical classes include active lectures, case studies and exercises
2. Practical Classes are mostly lab

- General Attendance Rules of FEUP
Out of 20 values:
- Laboratory component: 6
- Written: two midterms (6+8)
- Min of 30% in each component (lab and each midterm)
- Where difference of grading components is larger than 4 out of 20, the highest shall be adjusted so that maximum difference is 4
- Solely for improving grade, works of the Theoretical classes can add up to: 1
* Lab component is mandatory
* Student that have legal justification for not attending lab classes will have adtional practical exam to acess skills associated with the lab component
* Mini Tests of the next ocurrence of the course
* Lab classes of the next ocurrence of the course
Lab Classes:
* 2 students per bench
* Due to restrictions of equipment, students should NOT exchange classes (keep to your schedule!)
* No class changes (except for really exceptional circumstances decided by the teachers)
* No group changes throughout the semester even within classes (except for really exceptional circumstances decided by the teachers)
* Justifications of missed classes to be turned in digitally to the pratical teacher and to the secretary
Theoretical Classes:
* Theoretical classes are repeated and are often but not mandatory aligned
* Students can change Theoretical classes freely
Obtaining higher grades:
* Lab grade valid for one additional occurrence;
* Students can rise only the grade concerned with written exams (in the following occurrence) -- such students should NOT enroll in practical classes;
* Students can rise only the grade concerned with lab classes (in the following occurrence) -- such students SHOULD enroll in practical classes and notify teachers;
* All students should have valid secretary enrollment
