English Description
Introduction to control and automation: fundamentals of open loop and closed loop systems, mechanization versus automation, advantages of automation, application of automation, automation levels, automation system architecture and components. Principles of logic systems design, Boolean Logic, Design of combinational and Sequential logic systems. Machine electrical control panels components and functions such as push buttons, emergency stops, contactors, relays, counters (up, down and up/down), timers (on-delay, off-delay, on/off-delay, pulse timer), overload relay, circuit breakers, …. Etc. Reading electrical wiring diagrams. Hardware considerations and wirings of automated systems. Hardwired ladder diagram. Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC): introduction, hardware, programming Languages such as ladder diagram, Programming functions, Analogue modules. Examples and relevant case studies on production and mechanical systems. Introduction to Modeling of simple systems using block diagram and finding its system response, Industrial controllers (P, PI, PID etc.), tunning parameters, and their corresponding specifications and effect on the system. There will be labs and mini-projects to apply the topics learned in the course -
