Industrial Automation 1
Description
This module will provide the student with knowledge of electromechanical schematics symbols and drawings. The student will be able to read/create schematic diagrams for pneumatic and electro-pneumatic circuits. Using simulation software, the student will be able to analyse and optimise their circuit design.
This module will also provide the student with a practical knowledge of PLCs/PACs. Using software and hardware the students will analyse gate logic and boolean algebra.
Learning Outcomes
Construct schematic diagrams for basic industrial automated applications using the correct standards in pneumatic and electro-pneumatics areas
Describe the industrial uses, feasibility and advantages/disadvantages of a PAC/PLC.
Use the basic functions of a PAC/PLC.
Construct ladder logic programmes using Boolean Logic, IOs, timers, counters, sequencing, and advanced functions.
