Learning Outcomes

The aim is for students to acquire knowledge of instrumentation and control systems and develop the skills to be able to propose appropriate solutions when faced with a problem. It is also intended to build competencies for implementing basic instrumentation and control systems in a real context using elements and tools available on the market. The main objectives of this course are:
OB1: Understand the role of control systems in an industrial environment
OB2: To master methodologies for measuring quantities while maximizing their quality
OB3: Know techniques for measuring the most common quantities
OB4: Understand process dynamics and control technologies
OB5: Develop skills in industrial communication systems (CAN, RS485/RS422) and IoT
OB6: Develop skills in discrete closed-loop control (discrete PID control)
