Electronics II

Electrical Installations and Automation
  • ApresentaçãoPresentation
    In a post-secondary cycle of studies in the area of technologies and engineering, the curricular unit assumes a very relevant role, as it allows students to acquire basic knowledge for the analysis, interpretation and correct sizing of automatisms in an industrial context. The Industrial Automation unit aims to introduce essential concepts and tools in the context of knowing components such as: instantaneous relays, timed relays, contactors, sensors, directional valves, hydraulic and pneumatic action cylinders and their applicability, coordination and limitations. It also intends that the student be able to choose between the different technologies with the aim of carrying out a correct analysis of the problems presented.
  • ProgramaProgramme
    Contactors and relays - constitution and operation Sensors and detectors Electronic and electromechanical timers Thermal and magneto-thermal protections Fault and functioning signaling Installation of electromechanical automations Control and start-up of electrical machines Elaboration of a preliminary project with presentation of the system to automate Hydraulic and pneumatic circuits
  • ObjectivosObjectives
    Select components depending on the applications for which they are intended; Select and dimension protections for the automations studied; Interpret control, signaling and power electrical diagrams; Implement simple automation techniques using contactors; Use electronic and electromechanical timers in the design of sequential switching circuits; Carry out a complete study of the automatism to be developed; Apply knowledge acquired in terms of electro-pneumatics and/or hydraulics.

  • MetodologiaMethodology
    The objectives are concretized in the syllabus of the different chapters. In addition to presenting the syllabus of the curricular unit using diverse resources, The aim is to develop skills in interpreting the situations presented, analysis, decision-making, methodologies and deductive reasoning. The concepts covered in each chapter through varied strategies, provide systematic use of real, applied and contextualized circuits and systems. This teaching-learning environment translates into greater motivation and more sustained learning, as it makes it possible to convey the importance of industrial automation fundamental to the course. Real demonstrations and simulation environments are carried out, as well as practical work to promote student autonomy.
