Annotation -
The course is focused on explaining the theory of measurement and control, primarily for chemical and food production, with an emphasis on acquiring process information, data transmission and processing, and process control. Lecture topics include the design and notation of technological diagrams; the theoretical foundations and instrumentation for measuring technological variables (e.g., temperature, pressure, flow, level, concentration); mathematical modeling and simulation of processes; theoretical aspects of control; control loops; logical control; and systems for data acquisition and processing. As part of the exercises, students become familiar with procedures for designing automation circuit diagrams, virtual instrumentation, and methods for modeling and simulating control processes using specialized software.
