Abstract:
The course objective is to provide knowledge about the systems for computerized numerical control and
control of production, selection of solution in systems of control, etc. Examples from different areas are
presented for each type of the systems considered. The subject is linked to other subjects such as
Processes Control, Control Systems-1, Research work, as well as to the preparation of the diploma
project.
Course content:
Systems with computerized numerical control (CNC). Block scheme for system with computerized
numerical control, CNC type. Elements of the systems with computerized numerical control. Automated
systems for control (ASC). Hierarchical structures of the production control systems. Criteria and
procedures for decision-making on control systems. Structure of decentralized control systems. Structure
of systems with indirect and direct numerical control.
Teaching and assessment:
The main questions of the course material are discussed during the lectures. Students have to submit a
report for each exercise. The defence of the report is assessed. The term is validated, if the students have
fulfilled all the exercises and have successfully defended the relevant reports. The exam on the subject is
in written form. The exam material includes theoretic and practical questions. The scores from the
exercises are taken into consideration for the formation of the final mark.
0330 Distributed Computer Control Systems
ECTS credits: 5
Weekly classes: 4lec + 0sem + 3labs + 0s
Assessment: exam
Type of exam: written
Departments involved:
Department of Automatics and Mechatronics
Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Automation
Lecturers:
Assoc. Prof. Plamen Ivanov Daskalov, MEng, PhD, Dept. of Automatics and Mechatronics,
tel.: 082 888 668, E-mail: daskalov@uni-ruse.bg
Abstract:
Issues connected with Distributed Computer Control Systems (DCCS), based on PC and PLC are
considered in the course. The DCCS architecture and the structure and basic communications interfaces
of local industrial networks are presented in details. Emphasis is put on programming, control of
distributed system resources and on the creation of man-machine interfaces. Course prerequisites include
Control Computer Systems –1 and 2, Computer Measurement Systems, Computer Networks and
Information Industrial Systems.
Course content:
Architectures of Distributed Computer Control Systems. Communication protocols in industrial local
networks. Basic elements of the man-machine interface. Program elements for communication – OPC –
servers. Control of the distributed resources of DCCS.
Teaching and assessment:
The available technical teaching devices are used during the lectures. Laboratory exercises are organized
in cycles and are carried out in teaching laboratories. Students are provided with user manuals for their
teaching preparation. Before classes, the students’ preparation is checked. The results of the experiments
and software developments are recorded in reports. The final mark is based on the marks from the
exercises and the written exam.
