Industrial Automation

Università degli Studi di Roma ?La Sapienza?
Rome Italy


Instructor: Alessandro De Carli
[url]http://sistemi.ing.uniroma1.it/[/url]

Prerequisites
Familiarity with the concepts introduced in the basic courses of Systems Theory and Automatic Control.

Objectives
The class gives the basic skills to approach the problems linked to the design, the production and the administration of an automation system of an industrial plant, according to an orderly view. The methodologies given require the use of standard computer programs for the analysis of the
behaviour of a controlled system and for the synthesis of the modalities of administration and control. An approach according to the virtual reality simulation is developed and a paradigm of object-oriented design procedure is given, introducing and applying standard object modelling and specification languages.

Content
Elements of a production system and modalities of production. Goals of an automation system.
Fundamentals of instrumentation and field control. Programmable logic controllers. Standard and advanced PID controllers. Expert systems. Excerpts of fuzzy systems, neural networks, genetic algorithms, Bayesian networks. Smart controllers. Support of signal processing, filtering, estimation
and soft computing techniques in the industrial automation. Distributed Control Systems. SCADA systems. Lifecycle of an industrial automation system. Principles of discrete events systems.
Virtual reality environments for the design and the simulation of an industrial automation system.
Object-oriented design of an event-driven industrial automation system. UML and IEC-61499 standards for the industrial automation.

Textbooks
There is no required textbook for this class. All lectures are based on slides available from the course web page.

Further recommended readings are:
Levine W.S. ?The Control Handbook?, CRC Press ? IEEE Press
Luyben W.L., Luyben M. L. ?Essential Of Process Control?, McGraw-Hill International Editions
Nachtigal C. L. ?Instrumentation And Control ? Fundamentals and Applications?, Wiley Series In Mechanical Engineering Practice
Seborg D.E., Edgar T.F., Mellichamp D.A. ?Process Dynamics And Control?, Wiley Series In Chemical engineering Practice
Johnson C. D. ?Process Control Instrumentation Technology?, Prentice-Hall International
Li H.X., Yen V.C. ?Fuzzy Sets and Fuzzy Decision Making?, CRC Press
Jang J.S.R., Sun C.T., Mizutani E. ?Neuro-Fuzzy And Soft Computing?, Matlab Curriculum Series
Haykin S. ?Neural Networkorks ? A Comprensive Foundation?, Prenctice Hall International Editions
Fowler M., ?UML distilled: applying the standard object modeling language?, Addison Wesley
Lewis R. W., ?Modelling control systems using IEC 61499: applying function blocks to distributed
systems?, IEEE control engineering series

Assessment
At the end of the class group projects are assigned. A team of 2-4 persons must develop a complete analysis or synthesis of an automation system as case study, using the methodologies given. The complete mastery of the basic concepts of the class is required to pass the final exam.
