Objectives
Introduce the engineer to the concept of industrial system control and to the various aspects to consider when in need of control strategies.
Upon completing this course, the engineer:
- Will be able to relate to the necessity of control systems;
- Will be able to design basic control systems;
- Will be able to understand the hardware and software implications when designing a control system for their electrical or mechanical system;
- Will have the necessary understanding to be able to write requirements for a control system needed for their electrical or mechanical system.
Target Audience
