The software used as well as the manuals of the equipment used can be in English.
CE26: Understand automatic regulation and control techniques and their application to industrial automation.
CE29: Train to design control and automation systems.
This subject is a continuation of the second year Automation I subject.
The aim is to complete the learning, started in the first subject, of programming all kinds of automation applications using programmable automation controllers.
In this second subject the applications are of more advanced level and include, for example: applications Scada, applications of control of speed of engines, applications of control of axles or applications of Batch.
Throughout the course, much of the programming instructions, the various available programming languages and the structuring of the programs (subroutines, phases) are used.
The subject has an eminently practical approach. All the theoretical aspects are also worked on in a practical way.
With the experience gained in this subject the student will have a broad and solid foundation to face new challenges in industrial automation.

The final grade of the course will be calculated with the grades of the activities evaluable according to the following weighting:
Activity 1: Exercises 10%
Activity 2: Practices 50%
Activity 3: Final Exam 40%
The exercises are individual.
Laboratory practices are mandatory.
Minimum grades to pass:
- 4 of the exam notes
- 4 of the practice notes.
Internship reports (per group) must be submitted on the date indicated.
The make-up exam will only allow activity 3 (Final Exam) to be retaken. In this case, the maximum grade for the subject will be 5.
