Programmable Logics Controller
PRA Acad. year 2003/2004 Winter semester 5 credits
Programmable logic controllers (PLC) and logic processors. HW and SW of PLC. CPUs, I/O modules, visualization, communication and other special modules. PLC in the framework of CNC machines, control systems of production lines and technological processes. Reliability of PLC, redundancy structures. Programming languages of PLCs and the IEC 1131-3 Standard. System ConCept. Programming in Grafcet. Laboratories are performed on modern systems of Schneider (Telemecanique, Modicon, ConCept). Students make equating with PLCs of Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Omron and some others.

Learning objectives
The aim of the subject is education and training in programmable logic controllers PLC that are frequently used for control of machines, production lines and technological processes. Students make equating with architecture and circuits of PLC, basic features and modules. They will be able to develop programs in simple programming languages of PLCs (Ladder, Instruction list, FBD) as well as in languages of sequential processes (SFC, Grafcet). They will be informed about possibilities to interconnect PLCs by means of serial communication buses.
