Learning Outcomes

Students will be competent in configuring and programming control systems (PLC) associated with the automation of bulk goods. They will create automation applications for complex process modules utilizing and testing the knowledge and skills they have learned during their studies.

Student's Workload

Will be announced at the beginning of the course.

Prerequisites / Recommended Optional Courses

No previous studies are required.

Contents

Students complete exercises in the laboratory using a diverse range of automation devices. The software and devices are those that are commonly used in industry, and therefore students are able to apply the experience they have obtained in the laboratory directly to situations in industry. The devices students use include Siemens and Omron programmable logic controllers, touch-screens, PC monitoring stations, industrial terminals, and RFID (radio frequency identification) sensors. Students also gain experience in using electric motors and pneumatic cylinders.

Recommended or Required Reading

Material distributed by the lecturer, examples presented in the lectures, online material for the exercises, product and programming manuals
