| Prerequisites and co-requisites |
- Control engineering System theory (linear systems in the time and frequency domain, requirements for control systems, controller design, stability).
- Electrical machines (function of important drive systems, operating characteristics)
- Programming knowledge
|
| Course content |
- Structure and mode of operation of programmable logic controllers (PLCs)
- Languages and program organisation units (according to DIN EN 61131-3)
- Design patterns for control programs (logic controllers, sequential controllers, discrete controllers)
- Implementation of sample applications on a PLC
- Selected sensors and actuators of automation technology
- Drive systems (parameterisation, connection to PLC)
- Industrial image processing (application examples, image acquisition, filter, segmentation, feature analysis)
|
| Learning outcomes |
The students can
- develop and implement solutions for automation technology tasks.
- explain how programmable logic controllers (PLCs) work, explain possibilities of program structuring and write programs in different programming languages.
- use design patterns for control programs.
- integrate and parameterise electric drive systems in real automation applications.
- describe possible applications of industrial image processing systems and explain how the underlying algorithms work.
