Course detail
Introduction to Programmable Logic Controlles
FSI-VAM Acad. year: 2022/2023 Winter semester
The course introduces the student to area of basics of programmable logic controllers (PLC), which are today an integral part of industry and non-industry automation. After the theoretical introduction the course is based on practical laboratory exercises which are realized in the institute’s laboratory.

Prerequisites
Students are expected to have knowledge of automatic control and programming.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Credit conditions: active participation in laboratory exercises. Design of configuration and program creation for four thematic tasks (logical control, process system control, actuator control, dynamic system control).
Aims
Students will acquire basic knowledge and implementation skill for using simple programmable logic controllers.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Attendance at lectures is recommended, attendance at seminars is required. It is at the teacher's discretion to decide how to make up for missed seminars.
