Laboratory Assignments in Automation 2Laajuus (4 cr)

Code: KC25ENGLB2

Objective

Students will be able to configure and programme discrete automation control systems (PLC). Students will learn how to develop a multi-axis motion control system using frequency converters, cage induction motors, servo-drives and servo-motors. They will be competent in building energy-efficient automation systems required by motion controls by using fieldbuses.

Content

Students will practise how to programme and configure the control for a goods-processing station using programmable logic, a servo-drive and a servo-motor, as well as a frequency converter and cage induction motor. Students will also programme a multi-axis, PC-based motion controller and they will also practise configuring different fieldbus systems (DeviceNet, ProfiNet, EtherCAT).
