Description:

For the majority of the industrial process applications, Programmable Logic Controllers and Programmable Automation Controllers are the backbone of the industrial applications. Automations and robotics are distributed on the manufacturer’s floor, or in a wide area e.g. oil industry.

This course will focus on understanding the Programmable Logic Controllers and Programmable Automation Controllers requirements, programming and implementation. The practical approach of the course is guaranteed by having students perform hands-on work on cutting edge technology communication networks.

Course Outline:
