Digital Automation Systems

Learning objectives and acquired skills:
At the end of the course, students will have acquired core competencies in the design and construction of distributed digital automation systems. They will understand how the integration of a wide variety of automation technology components is planned and implemented, and which automation technology and information technology automation technology and information technology are used for this purpose. Students acquire the ability to recognize and interpret abstract automation and information technology models and to understand their interrelationships in order to create functional automation systems. Through exercises, students are able to deepen their knowledge and skills in a research-oriented manner and to apply and evaluate them in complex problem situations. Through exercises, students are able to deepen their knowledge and skills in a research-oriented manner under guidance and to apply and evaluate them in complex problem situations.

Modern information and knowledge processing systems are used in automation technology. The proximity of automation to the dynamic processes of machines and production facilities requires specific models and methods for its analysis, design, and operation, which are presented in this module. Automation systems consist of a large number of components that must interact with each other. These components must therefore be integrated with regard to their information exchange. To this end, technologies from both the IT/Internet and automation technology environments are available. Therefore, the connection between the components must be integrated with regard to their information exchange. These components must therefore be integrated in terms of their information exchange. Technologies from both the IT/Internet and automation engineering fields are available for this purpose. For this reason, the relationship between models, description languages, and tools is explained in detail and explored in depth for the implementation of control and regulation designs.
