CTRL06002 2013 Instrumentation and Control 202
Second part of Instrumentation and Control
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
Describe the types of sensors and control system required in specific situations
Design circuits to solve simple signal−conditioning problems, using op−amps and timer circuits
Describe actuator systems including stepper motors, motor speed control
Use LabVIEW software for measurement, instrument control, and process control
Program and use a PLC to provide solutions to a range of control problems
Present technical information in written/graphical form
Indicative Syllabus
A range of sensors/actuators are examined, along with required signal−conditioning and digital interfacing. Out[put mechanisms are studied along with an introduction to control systems. PLC and LabVIEW programming is introduced.
