Objectives

The course provides the necessary background in the factors which are
essential to realize telecommunication in the industry. Emphasises is given
on the transfer of production, measuring and controlling information in the
automation process. Attention is also given to the influence of the
transmisionprocess on the controlling behaviour.
The most recent communication technologies are discussed in case studies.



Topics

The transfer of analog and digital information in the industry is realized
in function of economical and functional constraints. The signals on the
highest level are transmitted through communicationnetworks. The
construction of an industrial communication network is build on the
knowledge of the classical modulationtechniques, signaltransmission
technologies and the systemtheories of hierarchical informationsystems. The
stringent demands of real time processing and the specific content of the
datapackets demands specific network-technologies. Yhe first chapter gives
an introduction in analog, digital and pulse communications. The second
chapter deals with the physical telecommunication lines and modemtechnology.
The last chapter is devoted to the different industrial communication
networks : the plantnetwork, the fieldnetwork, the actuator and
sensornetwork.

Assessment
oral examination

However, if a student gains a score of 7 or less on 20 on one of the different courses (parts of training items), he proves that his skill for certain subcompetencies is insufficient. Consequently, one can turn from the arithmetical calculation of the final assignment of quotas of a training item and the new marks can be awarded on consensus. Of course the examiners can judge that the arithmetic regulations mentioned in the study index card can also be used for 7 or less. For each deviation a detailed motivation ought to be drawn up. In that case one should point out that the skill for this subcompetency is proven to be insufficient, if the student didn’t pass the partim that is considered to be important for certain subcompetencies.
