IMPORTANT NOTICE!!!!!!!!!!!



Prerequisites: prior knowledge acquired in the subjects: "Practical PLC programming" will be required.



The subject aims to provide a general view of the most common architectures, standards and technologies used in the automation and control of industrial processes, communications and supervision systems.

- Ability to identify and analyse subsystems and electronic devices applicable to the automation of industrial processes.

- Ability to develop and manage comprehensive projects for the design and implementation of control and automation systems applied to industrial processes.

- Ability to handle computer programming tools for general-purpose devices used in the automation of industrial processes.

- Ability to handle technical documentation from electronic product manufacturers in order to be able to provide improvements in production processes through the modernization and integration of new modules in the electronic automation system.

- Master Classes: presentations of theoretical content by the teaching staff, carrying out various individual activities by the students.

- Classroom Practices: Work on practice scripts and development of group activities by students.

- Laboratory Practices: Development of the practices.

• Final Assessment System
• Tools and qualification percentages:
  • Written test to be taken (%): 60
  • Realization of Practical Work (exercises, cases or problems) (%): 30
  • Team projects (problem solving, project design)) (%): 10

- Written exam (60%) to be developed in one or several tests. It will take place on the date set by the school for the Ordinary Call. The written exams will include the topics of the master classes and concepts developed in the Practices.

- Laboratory Practices (30%): Preparation, presentation and reports.

- Group Work (10%).



It will be necessary to obtain at least a 5 over 10 in each part in order to pass the course and take all the percentages into account for the final grade.



b)Final Evaluation (for students who request it):

- Written exam (60%) that will include the topics of the master classes and concepts developed in the Practices.

- Practical Laboratory Test (30%).

- Individual work (10%).



It will be necessary to obtain at least a 5 over 10 in each part in order to pass the course and take all the percentages into account for the final grade.



To request the final evaluation system, students must present a request in writing to the teaching staff responsible for the subject the renunciation of continuous evaluation, for which You will have a period of 9 weeks from the beginning of the semester.



To request the final evaluation system, students must submit in writing to the teaching staff responsible for the subject the waiver of the continuous evaluation, for which they will have a period of 9 weeks counting from the beginning of the semester.



Resignation of students from a call:

In the case of continuous evaluation, students may resign from the call within a period of one month before the end date of the teaching period of the subject. This resignation must be submitted in writing to the teaching staff responsible for the subject.



In the case of continuous evaluation, students may withdraw from the call within a period of one month before the end date of the teaching period for the subject. This resignation must be submitted in writing to the teaching staff responsible for the subject.



In the case of final evaluation, failure to take the tests set on the official exam date will mean automatic resignation from the corresponding call.

For students who request it, it will consist of:

- Written exam (60%) that will include the topics of the master classes and concepts developed in the Practices.

- Practical Laboratory Test (30%).

- Individual work (10%).



It will be necessary to obtain at least a 5 over 10 in each part in order to pass the course and take all the percentages into account for the final grade.



Students who have taken the subject in the current academic year may maintain the weighting of the results obtained in the semester, in which case the evaluation will be similar to the ordinary call.

The documentation corresponding to the slides to support the theory and laboratory practices that are available in the eGela virtual classroom of the subject.
Within each topic and in the practice scripts, supporting bibliography, standards and internet pages of interest are presented and updated every year.

Basic bibliography
