Industrial Automation 2
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 circuits such as pneumatic, electrical, electro-pneumatics, and PLCs/ PACs.
This module will also provide the student with a practical knowledge of PLCs/PACs. Using software and hardware the students will analyse gate logic, boolean algebra and truth tables. They will learn to use subroutines and manipulation of data using advanced features of PACs.
Learning Outcomes
Demonstrate competence in standards used in automation, including machine building standards
Construct schematic diagrams for basic industrial automated applications using the correct standards in pneumatic, electrical, electro-pneumatics areas
Use advanced functions of a PLC.
Construct ladder logic programmes using Boolean Logic, IOs, timers, counters, sequencing, and advanced functions.
