Mt8602 Industrial Automation Syllabus

This document outlines the objectives and units of an industrial automation course. The course aims to teach students about programmable logic controllers (PLCs), supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, and distributed control systems (DCS). The five units cover PLC programming and applications, SCADA system architecture, DCS architecture and comparisons to SCADA/PLCs, and industrial process control techniques like statistical process control. On completing the course, students will be able to choose appropriate PLCs for applications, develop PLC programs, explain SCADA data management, and distinguish between DCS, SCADA and PLC systems.
