Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with microprocessor technology with a focus on PLC controller, which are nowadays an integral part of engineering as production lines, machinery manufacturing, etc. Students will learn about hardware platforms and software tools for configuring and programming these systems. At the end of the semester students will be able to connect a control system to the network, configure it, to work with its peripherals, think creatively and create programs, including interaction with the superior level with visualization SCADA systems.

Summary
Students acquire during their studies theoretical and practical knowledge and skills in the field of control systems used in mechanical engineering. Students will become familiar with the course of study microprocessor units, architecture of PLC, basic features and modularity, including a description and functions of the individual modules. They learn to program in the basic languages of programmable logic controllers, both in Ladder diagram, Instruction list, FBD, but also in languages of sequential processes. They also learn about the hierarchical control structure, connecting PLCs and communications with SCADA visualization systems.
