Objectives

The main goal of this course is to provide students with skills to understand the requirements, the development of processes and the technologies used in control and/or supervision applications of industrial processes employed at the cell and shop floor levels.

The student will contact techniques used in the specification of these applications, as well as the latest technologies used in their development.

Learning outcomes and competences

- Understand the characteristics and requirements of automation systems used in different types of industries.
- Know the processes of specification and development of applications used at cell level.
- Know the vertical integration technologies used in industrial systems.
- Know the automatic data collection technologies used in industrial systems.
- Know technologies used in the supervision of industrial process,
- Develop (simple), multilevel, applications to control and supervise industrial processes.

Eligibility for exams

-- University of Porto regulations.
--  Completion of the laboratory work.
-- Minimum grade of  7.00 (seven) in all parts (theoretical and practical).

Calculation formula of final grade

-- Attendance: 5%
- Theoretical part: 45% (exam) 
-- Practical : 50% (laboratory) 

- Coherence between individual and group grade: the grade in the laboratory part must not exceed five (5) values of the theoretical part grade (the reverse does not apply).

 - Grades equal or above 18 are conditioned to the realization of an oral examination.
