PG DIPLOMA IN INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION SYSTEM DESIGN
(6 MONTHS Program)

STARTING ON 18th February 2008

Excellence in Industrial Automation.

The course is framed by taking into account the present day manpower requirements of industries.

Preamble: Stiff competition, higher quality standards and growing concerns of safety & environmental damage have pushed the Industrial sector to adapt state-of-the-art Automation Techniques for effective utilization of resources and optimized performance of the process plants. Recent trend of merging control systems associated with both factory and process automation demands knowledge from diverse fields. Automation applications span plant automation, discrete and batch process control, embedded machine control and manufacturing production line automation. The industrial automation applications include automation of time critical systems that demand precise real time readings and control. Qualified automation engineers are needed to meet these requirements of designing appropriate automation systems. But, one need to have knowledge of diversified fields such as PC/ PLC based Control, Instrumentation, H/W, S/W, Networking, Industrial AC Drives, Machine Vision, SCADA/HMI, High speed data acquisition, RTOS etc., to become a successful automation engineer. The course also includes 1 ½ months industrial oriented project work in the last two months during which the student will be working on specific assignments of his/her choice.

Objective of the Course: This course is aimed at making an Engineer with appropriate experience, a qualified designer of Industrial automation systems with the use of PLCs, Machine vision, robots, Industrial Field Instruments, Industrial PCs, Data-acquisition boards, Microprocessor/ DSP based instruments, and related Software.

Outcome of the Course: Qualified automation engineers to meet the requirements of designing appropriate industrial automation systems.
