1.1. Aims of the course
The subject and its expected results respond to the following approaches and objectives:
The objective of the subject is to train the student in the key aspects related to industrial automation: advanced programming of programmable automata, industrial communications, human-machine interfaces, supervision systems, etc.
It is intended that after passing the subject the student has sufficient capacity for analysis, design and maintenance of automation systems of medium / large size. Also during the practical sessions has had a contact with real devices in all aspects cited.
1.2. Context and importance of this course in the degree
Within the Degree in Electronic and Automatic Engineering this subject is located in the second semester of the third year. In addition to the basic subjects of the first courses, the student must have completed the aforementioned Signals and Systems, Automatic Systems, and Control Engineering (in addition to a few subjects of the Electronic branch with which some content could perhaps be linked), for what should have a broad background. This subject is the last compulsory type of specific training in which the aspects that are his own are treated, and he finishes preparing for the technological options of the branch Automation and robotics.
1.3. Recommendations to take this course
Knowledge of modeling and control of discrete event systems is required, particularly those taught in the previous subjects Signals and Systems and Automatic Systems (or similar knowledge).
The personal effort, based on the study and continuous work, and from the first day of the course, is fundamental to overcome the subject.
It is important to resolve any doubts that may arise as soon as possible, for which the student has the advice of the teacher, both during the classes and in the hours of tutoring intended for it. Specific consultations can be made through email.
2.1. Competences
Upon passing the subject, the student will be more competent to ...
Applied knowledge of industrial computing and communications
Ability to design control systems and industrial automation
Ability to conceive, design and develop engineering projects, as well as for the drafting and signing of projects in the field of industrial engineering aimed at the Degree
Ability to combine basic knowledge and specialized engineering to generate innovative and competitive proposals in the professional activity

2.3. Importance of learning goals
The aspects dealt with in this subject train the student to tackle medium and large-scale automation projects, in all their phases and at all levels (from the plant level to the link with the technologies that support high-level management of the company). In this sense it can be said that after passing the subject, the student is competent to go to the job market demonstrating ease in industrial automation issues, being able to consider a finalist subject that virtually leaves the formation of the almost imminent Electronics and Automation Engineer closed.
3.1. Assessment tasks (description of tasks, marking system and assessment criteria)
The student must demonstrate that he has achieved the expected learning outcomes through the following assessment activities
In accordance with the regulations of the University of Zaragoza, the evaluation of this subject is of a global nature. Given the relevance in the subject of the acquisition of practical skills, through the use of computer environments and in the laboratory, throughout the course will be evaluated such work in each session, based on the previous study, development of work, preparation of memories, resolution of issues, etc.
In each official call, the evaluation will comprise three parts:
EINA DE ZARAGOZA
Individual written test (30%). CT rated from 0 to 10.
Practices (30%). CP rated from 0 to 10.
Evaluation of a practical work (40%). CTP rated from 0 to 10.
Both practical and practical work can be overcome throughout the course. In any case, a specific individual test will be carried out during the evaluation period for students who have not passed them during the course, or who wish to upload a grade.
Some of the laboratory practices will be qualified at the end of the practical session itself. For this, the previous preparation, the personal work of the student during the laboratory session, and the final solution provided by him will be valued.
To pass the subject is essential to obtain a minimum of 40% in each of the three parts. Only in this case, the global qualification of the subject will be (0.30 * CT + 0.30 * CP + 0.40 * CTP). In another case, the overall rating will be the minimum between 4 and the result of applying the previous formula. The subject is exceeded with an overall score of 5 points out of 10.

4.1. Methodological overview
The learning process that is designed for this subject is based on the following:
The teaching process will involve three main levels: lectures, problems and laboratory, with increasing
level of student participation.
• In the lectures the theoretical basis of the automated systems will be presented, illustrated with
numerous examples.
• In the classes of problems and issues such cases will be developed involving students.
• Laboratory practices will be developed in small groups where students perform the simulation,
implementing and analysing real automation and control systems.
• In addition, to encourage continuous and autonomous student work, additional learning activities to do
throughout the semester will be performed.
4.2. Learning tasks
The program offered to the student for achieving the expected results includes the following activities ...
Class work: 2.4 ECTS (60 hours)
1) In-person class (type T1) (30 in-person hours).
Lectures of theoretical and practical content. The concepts and fundamentals of automatic systems are presented, illustrated with real examples. Student participation through questions and brief discussions will be encouraged.
2) Classes of problems and cases resolution (type T2) (15 in-person hours).
Problems and cases involving students, coordinated at all times with the theoretical contents will be
developed. Students are encouraged to work the problems previously. Some of these hours may engage in
learning activities assessable as specified in each course.
3) Lab (type T3) (15 in-person hours).
In practice the student will address issues specific of this subject from the practical point of view: Advanced programming automation systems, industrial communications, human-machine interfaces, supervision systems, PC based control, etc. That is, after the necessary phase of problem analysis and solution design, apply the theoretical concepts studied in the theoretical classes and problems, and put into practice on actual equipment, similar to that existing in the industry. The student will have a script of practice that must be prepared in advance. Each practice will be qualified in the laboratory.
Non-in-person work: 3.6 ECTS (90 hours)
4) Practical work (T6 type) (40 hours).
Activities that the student will perform alone or in groups and that the teacher will propose throughout the teaching period. In this course each student will work, in groups and individually, several evaluable activities.
5) Study (type T7) (46 non-in-person hours).
Student Personal study of the theoretical part and realization of problems. The ongoing work of the
student will be encouraged by the homogeneous distribution of the various learning activities throughout
the semester. This includes tutorials, as a direct support for the student, identification of learning
problems, orientation in the subject, advising to exercises and assignments ...
6) Evaluation tests (T8) (4 in-person hours).
In addition to the qualifying function, evaluation is also a learning tool with which the student checks the
