Code: KL25AB70200

Objective

Students will be competent in analysing the structures and functions of the control systems used in machine automation systems. They will be able to utilise the IEC standardised programming tools and to develop reliable and energy efficient
control software and a user interface for a materials handling device.

Content

- Structural programming (sequence)
- Function block programming
- Standard functions (timers, calculators, comparisons and other commonly used functions)
- Analogue signals
- Recipes
- User interfaces.

Students will engage in hands-on learning of pneumatically and electrically controlled actuators for automation systems using programmable logic and touch screens.

Qualifications

- Basics of automation
- Programmable logic controllers

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1)

The student knows and controls the grounds for the use and programming of the IEC standard programming tool in the one to be been satisfied with numbers. He can make using models which are ready for the simple automation equipment of the operating and safe logic program.

Assessment criteria, good (3)

The student knows well the basic concepts which are related to the machine automation and the standard programming methods. He is able to adapt and is able to use ready function blocks in the solving of problems of different types. The student can test the operation of the automation program and can search it for the simulation using, the possible mistakes which endanger safety.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

The student can create independently and can debug a clear structured standard logic program. He can make, can test and can adapt own function blocks to different applications without forgetting safety.
The student understands the function of the programmable devices which are used in the machine automation and can locate and can repair the different diagnostics tools of the problem section and simulation using.

Materials

Lecturers' handouts, lecture demonstrations, assignments, product and programming manuals.

Further information

The issues of automation technology are internationally similar.
