Syllabus
Block 1
Home Automation

KNX standard (8 ECTS)

In this subject the student will be trained to program in the KNX standard, it is the largest home automation system implemented worldwide. You will be eligible for the certificate issued by Brussels KNX Partner.

Control systems (7 ECTS)

In this course other home automation systems that exist in home automation facilities will be addressed, training in standard systems such as LonWorks, ModBus, Dali, RF. Proprietary systems such as Deltadore will also be studied.

Home Automation Projects (10 ECTS)

This course will explain how to carry out an executive home automation project, what documents it must contain, and an introduction to the different facilities that we will control: lighting, climate, ventilation, telecommunications, electrical.

In this course, the BMS (building control system) of a Hotel installation will also be carried out, explaining how to do a better energy management, user control, alarm management, communication with voice systems such as Siri, Alexa, or as Deltadore or Somfy.

With the Home Automation module, you can obtain the Diploma of Specialization in Home Automation. If taken individually, the Postgraduate Course ends with a thesis project (5 ECTS credits).

Block 2
Automation AND INDUSTRIAL ROBOTICS

Hardware Systems (5 ECTS)

This course is made up of several blocks that allow students to acquire knowledge in the basic areas of automation: a brief review of pneumatics, hydraulics and mechanics, electrical panels in industry, frequency converters. 

Programmable Logic Controllers - PCLs (10 ECTS)

Basic concepts of a PLC, inputs and outputs, wiring and connection. Security. Communications and different types of buses.

The course has an important practical part in which the PLCs of the industrial models of the laboratory, the FMS-200 and the IPC-201, will be programmed. These models allow working with real systems in the industry, such as different types of sensors, actuators, cylinders, arms, clamps... These models also allow the integration of HMI and SCADA screens.

Software Systems (5 ECTS)

HMI displays will be programmed and OPC technology will be studied. A SCADA will be created so that it can be connected to the FMS-200 model and managed from a Smartphone. Finally, some sessions of artificial vision applied to the industry will be taught.

Industrial Robotics (5 ECTS)

You will learn how to program classic industrial robots and collaborative robots, both by using simulators and working with real robots.

With the Automation and Industrial Robotics module, you can obtain the Diploma of Specialization in Automation. If taken individually, the Postgraduate Course ends with a thesis project (5 ECTS credits).

 

Master’s Thesis: At the end of the Master's Degree in Automation, Home Automation and Industrial Robotics, a Master's Thesis (10 ECTS) is carried out, with which you can develop a project that covers both areas (automatic and home automation) or go deeper into only one of them.
