Abstract:
The course objective is to acquaint the students with the structure, methods and ways for programming,
configuring and maintenance of the most widely spread industrial data networks. The main point of this subject is
to help the students understand the practical aspects of industrial networks as a main instrument for building open
architecture systems. The course investigates field industrial network for communication with intelligent units. The
discussed network specifications have been selected because they are widely used in industrial automation.
Course content:
Industrial plant control system architecture of today. Common concepts and characteristics of industrial data
networks. Specific methodology for industrial data network. Real time information model. OSI (Open System
Interconnect) model and network model in industrial network systems. Physical, Data link and application level.
Industrial field networks: HART, Foundation Fieldbus, CAN, Profibus, Modbus. Field devices control with a
standard protocol (Manufacturing Message Specification – MMS). Industrial networks of ‘control’ level. Objectoriented
models in control level (ControlNet) and information level (Ethernet/Industrial Protocol) OPC.
Teaching and assessment:
The lecture topics enable the students to get acquainted with the main theory before doing the practical exercises.
For industrial networks component investigation students compose and debug programs using available software.
Lectures discuss mainly the design of the apparatus part, while the practical exercises focus on the process
accessibility and the reaction time of network devices.

Abstract:
The Specialized Microprocessor Systems course aims to familiarize the students of the Telecommunication
Systems degree course with some contemporary digital signal processor families and the structure of basic digital
signal processors. It provides general information about systems for automation of the design and testing
microprocessor systems based on DSP. The Specialized Microprocessor Systems course is related to the
following subjects: Impulse and Digital Devices, Microprocessor Systems, Computer Architecture and to the
Diploma project.
Course content:
Key features of the TMS320 DSP family. DSP architecture. Central processing unit. Bus structure. Internal
memory organization. Data addressing. Program memory addressing. Pipeline operation. On-chip peripherals.
Serial ports. External bus interface. DSP applications.
Teaching and assessment:
The lectures review mainly the hardware design, while the practical exercises focus on the development of the
software of microprocessor systems based on DSP. The practical exercises are carried out in a computer
laboratory equipped with a DSP developing environment based on PC and specialized demonstration boards. At
the beginning of each laboratory exercise an entrance test is conducted to check the students’ preparation.
