Basics of AutomationLaajuus (3 cr)
Code: KL25AB10000
Objective
Students will be able to differentiate between various automation systems and identify the components used in them. They will understand how automation systems work. Students will be knowledgeable of the structure, function and connections of relays and PLC drivers and the more common types of sensors and actuators. They will learn the idea behind the logic needed in automation technology.
Content
Development of automation and automation technology, - What is automation?, - Control and regulation, control systems for automation, sensors, actuators, programmable logics, components for a control system, - Common connections for sensors and actuators into programmable logics, - Practice making connections in the lab, - Familiarisation with various automation control system. The course considers the importance of automation for sustainable development and examines the impact of a solution model based on a step diagram on the life cycle of an automation program.
