Structure, functioning and operation of the Siemens PCS7 industrial process control system within the framework of practical trials in a paper recycling pilot plant. Control and optimization tasks are solved and documented on various pilot-scale separation processes. In addition, industrial services of the Internet of Things (IoT) are worked with to solve application problems (e.g. remote process monitoring, systematic analysis of process data for troubleshooting and process optimization). These techniques are learned in small groups and put into practice.

On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:

  • Describe the differences between the elements and architecture of classic process control technology and the components of the Internet of Things.
  • Operate an industrial process control system for simple experiments and extract process data, taking into account the operation of controllers and interlocks.
  • Explain control system programming and make program changes.
  • Control and optimize process engineering separation processes using digital methods.
  • Use components and services of the Internet of Things (IoT) in applications.
  • Create own IoT applications and use them for process control.
  • Network devices and IoT applications using communication technologies such as MQTT and integrate them into process control systems using interfaces such as OPC-UA.
