ETM 4350 - Automation, Robotics & Control Systems
Theory and application of digital controls in manufacturing. Includes relay logic and closed loop control theory using negative feedback. Introduction to sensors, signal conditioning, circuits, D-A and A-D conversion, and Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control. Lab experiments include programmable logic controllers and control of mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic and electrical systems.Theory and application of robots used in manufacturing. Includes classifications, sensors and feedback mechanisms, robot/computer communications, and programming. Also includes selection of robots based on task and economic criteria. Lab activities include on- and off-line programming of robots and developing robotic work cells.
