Course Overview

This course will provide an introduction to the use of the computer for the control of industrial automation and industrial process. It provides the students a basic knowledge with a systematic and comprehensive exposition of present technology and applications of modern computer control systems. The fundamental knowledge is to capture the essence of Distributed Computer Control System (DCCS) for their general structure, functional elements, data acquisition system, tuning for PID controlled system, and relate each module to the practical systems. Several examples of DCCS in the industry will be discussed as a case study and future technology trends are also projected.
