Real-time computer techniques and applications in industry and laboratory processes.
Introduction to LabView graphic environment.
Development of computer programs to monitor and control unit processes at lab and pilot scale.
Implementation of monitor/control systems to two lab scale process operations.

Main Bibliography

Class notes to be supplied
Instrumentation manuals and documentation
LabView documentation

Teaching methods and learning activities

The course work has a very strong applied nature and will be conducted in a Unit Operations lab in two distinct projects:
1. Communication with analytical instruments through a serial interface (RS-232)
2. Process monitoring and control using analog/digital data acquisition systems

The projects will be carried out by teams of two students.

Software

LabView graphic environment

Evaluation Type

Distributed evaluation without final exam

Examinations or Special Assignments

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Due to the essentially experimental nature of the course, a single written exam is not possible; a practical experimental session and an oral exam are required.

Classification improvement

Due to the essentially experimental nature of the course, a single written exam is not possible; a practical experimental session and an oral exam are required.
