Course Objectives The course covers industrial automation with particular reference to CNC and PLC. After this course, the students would be able to understand the automation requirements of a modern industrial set-up. Topics Covered Industrial and specially Manufacturing Automation, Automation Theory; Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Machining Requirements, Limitations of Conventional Machining, Introduction of Numerical Control, Building blocks of CNC, CNC Programming, Machining Sensors/actuators/control cards used in CNC machines. Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) Introduction to PLC, PLC Architecture and Operation, Advantages / Limitations of PLC, Ladder Logic and other Programming Formats, Relay Logic, Timers, Counters, Comparator, Math Instructions, Bit Shift Registers, Advanced instructions, industrial data communication protocols, SCADA, HMI. Recommended Books Jon Stenerson, of PLCs, Sensors and “Fundamentals Communication”, 3rd Ed., Prentice Hall, Upper Saddle River, New Jersey, 2004 Robots and Manufacturing Automation, by C. Ray Asfahl, John Wiley & Sons, Latest Edition CAD/CAM Principles and Applications, by P N Rao, McGraw Hill, Latest edition Programmable Controllers, by E. A. Parr, Newnes, Latest edition Automation Production Systems and Computer Integrated Manufacturing, by Mikeel P. Groover, Prentice Hall, Latest Edition Machine Tool Technology Basics bySteve Krar, Arthur Gill, Peter Smid and Paul Wanner, Latest edition MTS-4xx Senior Design Project Theory Cr Hrs, 0 Labs Cr Hrs, 3+3 Course Objectives The Senior Design Project introduces students to independent design and development project. It exposes the students to the existing problems and issues related to implementation of Mechatronics engineering projects. It is a team based project that gives ample opportunities to the students to demonstrate their engineering knowledge, skills, leadership, team work and some of graduate attributes that are the program learning outcomes of Mechatronics Engineering.
