Unit Code: MEB805

Unit Name: Automation System

Description: The unit will cover the theory and operation of control systems, equipment, and strategies used in industrial environments for the measurement and control of common physical parameters such as pressure, temperature, level and flow, and also other physical properties as appropriate. It will also introduce digital techniques and the use of computers in control.

Learning Target Outcomes: On successful completion of this course, students should be able to: 1. Determine the principles of industrial control (WA1,2) 2. Analyse a range of typical control system components in terms of time domain equations and frequency response. (first order, second order, dead time, ram ) (WA1-4) 3. Analyse and simplify logic circuits (WA2) 4. Create simple PLC ladder logic for typical industrial control problems (WA1-5,12) 5. Apply some level of expertise to analyse and specify control system equipment for process control (WA1-5,12)
