The course is for students interested in the electronic instrumentation for industrial automation, in terms of factory and process automation, open to Industry 4.0. After a brief overview of the components of the automation at the field level, the module focuses on distributed architectures, the most widespread fieldbuses, the Real-time Ethernet, and wireless technologies for industrial applications.
"Smart sensors and fieldbus" is a course describing systems for industrial automation for Industry 4.0. A special attention is paid to smart sensors and fieldbuses. It addresses the context of industrial automation at the field level, analyzing factory automation, process, intrinsic safety, with a focus on architectures based on field bus, wired and wireless. In particular, the path that led from the fieldbuses to Real-Time Ethernet solutions and wireless technologies is discussed. Particular attention is given to real-time applications for industry, with reference to the time synchronization, and networks for smart grid and smart metering, with a brief outline of the powerline technologies.
The course for students with basic training in electronic and information technology who want to know the main systems used in factory and process automation in the Industry 4.0 era.. Technologies discussed in this course include: Smart Sensing; Wireless Sensor Networks; Fieldbuses and Real Time Ethernet.
INTELLIGENT SENSORS AND FIELD BUS deals with more arguments:
a) intelligent sensors. Regulations. The networks of sensors and actuators. Application profiles.
b) fieldbus and real-time Ethernet. Ethernet networks for automation and real-time Ethernet networks. The software oriented solutions (eg, Ethernet / IP, Profinet RT) and hardware oriented solutions (eg EtherCAT, Profinet IRT). The problem of synchronization and the standard IEEE1588.
c) wireless sensor networks. Architectures and technologies. Wireless sensor networks for measuring (metering) and automation. Solutions subGHz and at 2.4GHz. M-Bus, WirelessHART.
