Description
Instrumentation and Control second part introduces students to measurement and control systems. This includes more in depth control, transistors, op-amp circuits and signal conditioning.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
Describe the types of sensors and control system required in specific situations
2.
Design circuits to solve simple signal−conditioning problems, using op−amps and timer circuits
3.
Describe actuator systems including open and closed loop control as well as motor speed control
4.
Use relevant software for measurement, instrument control, and process control
5.
Program and use a PLC to provide solutions to a range of control problems
6.
Present technical information in written/graphical form
Indicative Syllabus
A range of sensors/actuators are examined, along with required signal−conditioning and digital interfacing. Output mechanisms are studied along with an introduction to control systems. PLC and interfacing are introduced.

Electronic Devices (CONVENTIONAL CURRENT VERSION) , Ninth Edition, provides a solid foundation in basic analog electronics and a thorough introduction to analog integrated circuits and programmable devices. The text identifies the circuits and components within a system, helping students see how the circuit relates to the overall system function. Full-color photos and illustrations and easy-to-follow worked examples support the text's strong emphasis on real-world application and troubleshooting. Updated throughout, the ninth edition features new GreenTech Applications and a new chapter, "Basic Programming Concepts for Automated Testing."
