Automation techniques

First cycle, Bachelor

The students are able to: • Assign the corresponding positioning elements to the actuators. • Explain the function of the sensors (capacitive, inductive, optical and magnetic proximity switches, limit switches). • Explain binary, digital and analog signals. • Explain the structure and function of a programmable logic controller (PLC). • Explain the basic rules of control design. • Apply basic logic functions in control engineering. • Evaluate control systems and regulations. • The control engineering terms: Explain step response, controlled variable, manipulated variable, reference variable, disturbance variable, dynamic behavior. • Classify bus systems. • Compare robotic systems.
