<strong>ECTS</strong> credits: 4<br />

Weekly classes: 3lec+0sem+0labs+3ps<br />

Assessment: exam<br />

Type of exam: written<br />

Department involved:<br />

Department of Telecommunications<br />

Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Automation<br />

Lecturers:<br />

Abstract:<br />

The course objective is to enable students to gain knowledge about geographical information systems, their basic<br />

applications and components. The course provides opportunities for the students to acquire hands-on experience<br />

in operating with specific software products and lays the foundations for professional growth in such a dynamically<br />

developing field.<br />

Course content:<br />

History of GIS, basic terminology, functionality, components and applications. Data base with geographically<br />

referenced information. Meta data. Main functions. Basic data formats. Operation with geographically refined<br />

data. Basic cartography principles. Creating maps. Layers and symbols, classification methods and styles. Labels<br />

and annotation. Geo-coding. GIS data base design. Main resources of geographically referenced data and<br />

methods of application. Continuous assessment of geographically referenced data. Data analysis in 3D.<br />

Cartographic algebra. Raster data base. Topographic analysis. Distances. Visualization techniques. Image<br />

processing. Perspectives of GIS design.<br />

Teaching and assessment:<br />

The lectures comprise 3 hours a week and provide basic knowledge of GIS.<br />

The workshops are conducted face-to-face in a PC training room and comprise 3 classes a week. Students are<br />

assigned practice-oriented tasks. Continuous assessment is based on the results from the allotted individual tasks.<br />

Final assessment is based on a written exam conducted during the examination session. Apart from their lecture<br />

notes, students get in advance a list of specialized and additional reference literature to help them prepare for the<br />

exam.<br />

0784 Communication in Industrial Networks<br />

Abstract:<br />

The course aims to acquaint the students with the structure, methods and ways for programming, configuring and<br />

maintenance of most widely spread industrial data networks. The main point of this subject is practical aspects of<br />

industrial networks as main instrument for building open architecture systems. The course touches upon industrial<br />

networks for communication with intelligent units. The discussed network specifications were selected because<br />

they are widely used in the area of industrial automation.<br />

Course content:<br />

Modern industrial plant control system architecture. Common concepts and characteristics of industrial data<br />

networks. A specific methodology for industrial data network creation. Real time information model. OSI (Open<br />

System Interconnect) model and network model in industrial network system. Physical, Data link and application<br />

level. Industrial field networks: HART, Foundation Fieldbus, CAN, Profibus, Modbus. Field devices control with a<br />

standard protocol (Manufacturing Message Specification – MMS). Industrial networks of ‘control’ level. Objectoriented<br />

models in control level (ControlNet) and information level (Ethernet/Industrial Protocol) OPC.<br />

Teaching and assessment:<br />

The lecture topics enable the students to get acquainted with the main theoretic issues before participating in the<br />

practical exercises. For the purposes of industrial networks component investigation, students compose and<br />

debug programs using available software. Lectures discuss mainly the design of the apparatus part, while the<br />

practical exercises pay attention to the process accessibility and reaction time of network devices.<br />
