Learning outcomes	The unit aims to provide students with concepts about distributed systems based on fieldbus networks. For this propose the goals that we want to reach are: • knowledge of the main features of a of distributed data acquisition systems; • Develop skills about the technologies that support the destributed instrumentation systems. • knowledge about the flow and integration of information in the industrial environment; • knowledge about the technologies with greater expression to support the SCADA systems.
Syllabus	M1 Data acquisition - Measurement chain; fundamentals of sampling data systems; AD converters technologies, analog hardware design techniques. M2 Distributed systems using Fieldbus technology – Fundamentals of OSI model for communication systems, systems architectures, connection between units and data points, service and maintenance operations. .M3 Communication technologies for distributed instrumentation systems - CAN, CANopen, IEEE812.15.4, and analysis of emerging technologies: 6LoWPAN; ISA100; WirelessHART. M4 SCADA Systems and technologies - Interfaces with fieldbus networks, Technologies: OPC, CORBA, IEEE 21451.
