Laboratory Assignments in Automation 2Laajuus (4 cr)

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 constructing various data transfer solutions needed for motion control in automation systems 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 practice configuring different fieldbus systems.
