Industrial control software teaching at the department of ACS FEI STU

New developments in computer networks and communications provide new possibilities also for control purposes. Control systems for highly complex plants are themselves very complex and heterogeneous. A new software and hardware infrastructure is needed that exploits these new emerging software technologies. An essential activity to be pursued is that of education and of including new technologies in control education. The aim of this paper is to describe some of our activities and experiences in teaching of information techniques and industrial technologies included in open control platforms of control systems.
