CTRL06006 2019 Instrumentation and Control 202
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;
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 open and closed loop control as well as motor speed control
Use relevant 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. Output mechanisms are studied along with an introduction to control systems. PLC and interfacing are introduced.
