| The scope of the course | The subject of the discipline “Automation Systems” is the study of stages of development and construction of industrial automation systems based on programmable logic controllers and programmable logic integrated circuits, as well as their programming languages and features of use. |
| Rationale | Industrial automation systems are widely implemented in all industries. The main component of the technical implementation of any automation task is the use of programmable logic controllers and their subclass – programmable logic relays, which are programmed in the language of relay logic, which greatly simplifies the transition from outdated relay circuits to programmable logic. Modern digital devices, in turn, are built using programmable logic integrated circuits. Therefore, the training of specialists who will have skills in the development, synthesis and programming of industrial automation systems is an urgent task in a rapidly developing industry. |
| Learning outcomes
|
– apply programming skills in the language of relay logic to convert logic equations into a program for a programmable logic relay or field programmable logic devices;
– to transform known relay circuits for compiling programs in the language of relay logic and functional block diagram language; – to transform class H relay circuits into class P for compiling programs in the language of relay logic and functional block diagram language; – solve automation problems for the technical implementation of automation circuits using modern programmable logic relays and field programmable logic devices; – to choose modern equipment for designing automation systems. |
| Competencies and skills
