The descriptions shown below are for the academic year: 2024-2025
Learning Outcomes
The student will be familiar with the various sectors of automation, such as control techniques, actuators and sensors. The study unit gives basic knowledge for specialised study units in automation. The student will also understand technical texts on automation written in English.
Student's Workload
Total work load of the course: 135 h
- of which scheduled studies: 70 h
- of which autonomous studies: 65 h
The assessment of student’s own learning 1 h is included in contact lessons.
Prerequisites / Recommended Optional Courses
IKTA2801 Mechanical Automation 1
Contents
Mechanisms used in mechanical engineering to cause a movement. Digital and analogue signals, number systems and A/D conversion. Sensors, mechanical and semiconductive switches and the most usual steady-state sensors, signals and selection. Hardwired controls and their components, logic conditions, basics of PLCs. Safety in mechanical automation.
The study unit will be held in English since the manuals and technical specifications of equipment is mostly only available in English.
