Laboratory “Intelligent Automation” (Training Center for Industrial Automation)
Directions in which the activities of the laboratory.
Training direction.
The laboratory was created in 2016 as part of the implementation of the Tempus project 544010-TEMPUS-1-2013-1-DE-TEMPUS-JPHES “Trainings in Automation Technologies for Ukraine TATU” “Trainings on automation technologies for Ukraine”.
Currently, the laboratory is designed to conduct laboratory practical exercises, practical exercises, independent work in the following disciplines: “Fundamentals of programming controllers”, “Intellectual REA and systems”, “Electronic equipment of an intelligent building”, “Electronic equipment of intellectual equipment”, “Industrial controllers”, as well as for the performance of graduation projects, master’s works and research work of students.
Research activities of the laboratory:
– carrying out laboratory, practical and independent work of students on industrial controllers and HMI;
– carrying out optional PLC programming with the involvement of employees of leading IT companies (SAS Automation, ELAKS)
– preparing students for participation in international and all-Ukrainian programming contests for PLC programming;
– constant participation in competitions XploRe New Automation Award from the German company Phoenix Contact Gmb & Co. KG;
– carrying out research works on industrial IoT (IIoT)
– carrying out Appa round tables (Association of Industrial Automation Ukraine)
– conducting research work on Profinet networks.
Basic hardware and software:
- 12 sets of TATU Smart Lab (TSL) -mobile set of devices, flexibly configured for learning modern automation technologies. Contains equipment from various manufacturers and was developed within the framework of the concept Industry 4.0 (the fourth stage of the industrial revolution):
- “Programmable Controllers and PROFINET” hardware module because it contains two programmable controllers (AXC 3050 and ILC151GSM / GPRS), PROFINET I / O devices, a managed network switch, and a wireless access point for organizing a wireless local area network.
- Profibus hardware module contains three Profibus I / O devices, Profinet Proxy for I / O for Profibus DP technology with an integrated switch and a wireless access point
- The hardware module “CODESYS” is intended for modeling technological processes. Models must be developed in CODESYS versions 3.x and loaded into the EtherCAT EC2250 controller
The main achievements over the past 5 years:
a) grants, works commissioned by foreign representatives.
