Automatisiation Techniques

First cycle, Bachelor

The participants:
• 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
