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
