Introduction to Programmable Logic Controlles (FSI-VAM)

Academic year 2022/2023
Supervisor: Ing. et Ing. Stanislav Lang, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: ÚAI all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
Students will acquire basic knowledge and implementation skill for using simple programmable logic controllers.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Studenti získají absolvováním předmětu základní znalosti s prací a implementací jednoduchých programovatelných automatů.
Prerequisites:
Students are expected to have knowledge of automatic control and programming.
Course contents:
The course introduces the student to area of basics of programmable logic controllers (PLC), which are today an integral part of industry and non-industry automation. After the theoretical introduction the course is based on practical laboratory exercises which are realized in the institute’s laboratory.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
Credit conditions: active participation in laboratory exercises. Design of configuration and program creation for four thematic tasks (logical control, process system control, actuator control, dynamic system control).
Controlled participation in lessons:
Attendance at lectures is recommended, attendance at seminars is required. It is at the teacher's discretion to decide how to make up for missed seminars.
Type of course unit:
    Lecture  13 × 1 hrs. optionally                  
    Laboratory exercise  13 × 3 hrs. compulsory
