Industrial Automation - Part of Modular Certificate in Automation and Control (DEM1)
About This Course
This module aims to equip students with the basic knowledge of general electronic devices as well as hard-wired and programmable types of automation solutions. Their applications in sequential control systems and low-cost automation will be covered.
Major topics include electro-pneumatics technology and programmable logic control. The essential hardware components used in automated systems, such as sensors, valves and actuators will be applied to the automated systems. Widely accepted industrial control programming language LD will be covered, in conjunction with the learning of programming logic controllers and computer interfaces.
Laboratory work involves hands-on circuit construction and implementation using these various technologies and techniques, which enhances students’ understanding of the practical aspects of circuit designs.
