About the course
Aim
The course is meant to be an introductory course on industrial automation. In this context, the course covers the subjects required to integrate sensors and actuators with programmable logic controllers (PLCs) to automate industrial processes. In addition the course also provides a small component of robot programming. The course has a strong practical component whereby the students have the opportunity of getting a hands-on experience on the subjects taught on the theoretical lectures. After concluding the course the students should be able to:
- Describe the main functioning principles of the most common industrial sensors and actuators.
- Describe the main logic-based models that support design of PLC programs
- Implement basic PLC programs that are able to interpret the information collected from a set of sensors and convert that information into the corresponding actuation.
- Implement basic programs for Industrial robots.
