2. Course Goals • Raise interest for industrial automation systems • Understand industrial control systems (purpose, structure) • Methods and trade-offs in real-time systems • Understand the terms in publications and standards • Be able to analyze a plant and propose automation solutions • Compare automation solutions with other domains • Analyze reliability, availability and safety of systems • Become productive in an industrial company or utility rapidly

5. Organization of the course • instrumentation: hardware: how is the state of a plant read and controlled • controllers: hardware and software how controllers operate and how they are programmed • industrial communication networks: how are real-time data exchanged, in the field and in the plant • application protocols for devices how do devices appear to the programmer and operator • software interface to application: how does the application accesses the process data • operator interface and SCADA how do operators see the plant they supervise • manufacturing execution systems how is production planned and executed • plant configuration and engineering how is a control system planned, engineered and tested • failures in a control system how to deal with unreliable elements in a control system • safety how to evaluate and prevent safety hazards • standards how standards help the industry

6. Prerequisites for a career in automation • Curiosity: I want to understand • Basic Physics: I can make a model of my world • Mathematics I know how to calculate • Programming: I can structure • Systematic Work: I can plan • Initiative: I try various strategies to make things works • Language: I can speak with colleagues from other domains and cultures
