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 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.
