The optional subject contributes to acquiring greater capacity in the competencies defined for this degree. Specifically, it delves into the acquisition of knowledge based on computational tools, their application in manufacturing processes and the automation of industrial plants.



As a result of learning:



· The student knows the Automotive Pyramid and its levels. He differentiates the function of each level.



· The student knows the concept of Industry 4.0 and its characteristic elements.



· The student knows how to use the different software tools that are integrated into an industrial automation project.



· The student uses the different industrial communication standards available for the connection of these tools.



· The student manages the fundamental elements that enable him to face complex projects of automation and digital integration in the automotive industry.

· Automotive Pyramid



· Industry 4.0



· PLC programming: HMI, high-level language...



· Communications between programmable automatons



· OPC UA communication protocol



· Web servers in the automation environment



* MQTT communication protocol

The theoretical part of the subject will focus on aspects related to the Automation Pyramid, reviewing each of the fundamental levels collected there. The Industry 4.0 concept will also be studied. The teacher will explain the different topics. An attempt will be made to have professional experts give talks on the different aspects of the syllabus. To complete this part of the course, students must complete a group project on a related topic.



In the practical part of the subject, the necessary programming knowledge related to the points of the syllabus will be explained. Examples will be proposed and exercises and projects based on them will be carried out.

The default evaluation method is continuous evaluation, which will be graded as follows



Completion of practices (exercises, problems): 65%



Team work (projects): 35%



According to the Regulations governing the Evaluation of Students in official Degrees, chapter II, article 8, section 3, all students will have the right to be evaluated through the final evaluation system, regardless of whether or not they have participated in the continuous evaluation system. To do this, students must submit in writing to the teaching staff responsible for the subject the resignation to continuous assessment. Students will have a period of 9 weeks from the beginning of the semester, in accordance with the center's academic calendar to submit their resignation.



The Final Evaluation will consist of a written test and a practical exercise that will comprise 70% and 30% of the subject, respectively. It will be necessary to pass each of the parts.

Given the high technological component of the subject and the great dynamism of the technologies it studies, the teaching team of the subject will indicate at the beginning of the same the material of obligatory use in it (if any).

Basic bibliography

There is no invariably up-to-date reference bibliography. Therefore, following the methodology used in academic research, the student will be shown how to obtain a personalized bibliography, which is adapted to their specific needs and oriented towards their future professional career.

In-depth bibliography

In the same way, It is not posible to provide an invariable advanced bibliography. The student's training in the methodology of scientific research will allow him to obtain this bibliography in a personalized way and oriented to his professional interests.

Journals

The student's training in the methodology of scientific research will allow him to access scientific journals oriented to his professional interests.
