Study Guide

Objective

The student knows how Industry 4.0 development, IEC62541 (OPC UA), IEC61131-3 and other related standards affect to the design of modern automation control software. The student knows the V-model of software development and agile methodology. The student is also able to utilize them in the design project of the control system. The student understands the paradigm of object-oriented programming and is able to use it in the design of control software. The student recognizes the most common languages used for system modeling, such as UML, SysML and Petri nets, and can model systems using these languages. The student is able to use modern design and simulation tools for testing control software.
