Objective
Students will be competent in making basic measurements safely and correctly. They will be able to determine and locate possible faults by interpreting the measuring results. They will take into account the impact of external interferences on measurement results. The student is able to tune the equipment to operate energy efficiently based on the measurement results obtained. Students will learn about the characteristics of computer-based measuring devices and their possible uses in different applications.
Content
Types of electricity and how to measure them ** Instruments for measuring electricity (multimeters, oscilloscopes, RLC meters, analyzers, installation testers, PC meters) ** Measurements (currency, voltage, resistence, frequency) ** Measurement accuracy and factors contributing to disturbances ** Troubleshooting systems ** Measurements in the lab.
Materials
Lessons In Industrial Instrumentation (Tony R. Kuphaldt), lecture material, demonstrations, measuring devices in the laboratory and manufacturer instructions.
Teaching methods
Lectures and various measurement exercises related to process automation
Student workload
Contact hours about 30 h, independent studies and exercises about 30 h
Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1)
The student knows the measuring methods of basic quantities and can carry out the multimeter and the oscilloscope safely using, the practical measurings. Furthermore, he knows let one to calibrate analogy based and digital based measure transmitters according to the instruction.
Assessment criteria, good (3)
In addition to the previous, the student knows the methods of the troubleshooting. Both one can know the modern measuring devices and their use. He can make the measurings of the automation according to the instruction using PC based measurement systems.
Assessment criteria, excellent (5)
The student can search for independently, it is not chosen and adapt, the measuring devices and applications to the different measurings of the automation. He can measure the condition of the measuring devices which are used in the processes and if necessary, command the tuning and calibration of them. Furthermore, he knows the standard placements of measuring devices.
