Programming Automatons

Automation and Robotics
  • 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 dimensioning of automatisms in an industrial context.  The PLC Programming unit aims to introduce essential concepts and tools in the context of knowing components such as: instantaneous relays, timed relays, contactors, sensors, programmable PLCs and their applicability, coordination and limitations.  It also intends for the student to be able to choose between the different technologies with the aim of carrying out a correct analysis of the problems presented.

  • MetodologiaMethodology
    The Theoretical part (T) is presented throughout the semester and is subject to individual assessment through two tests to be carried out during the semester. The Theoretical-Practical (TP) part is taught in interaction with students as they develop small group projects. Projects are presented in the format of a set of simulator files and are used for evaluation after oral group discussion. The laboratory part (L) consists of practical group work using electrical and electromechanical equipment available in the laboratory. The reports written in this part count towards the corresponding evaluation, after individual group discussion. The final classification results from the simple average of the obtained classifications: NF=(0.45*T)+(0.15*TP)+(0.40*L); It is mandatory that the final classification of each part is at least 9.5, and it is also mandatory that the minimum grade of each test is at least 8.0 val.
