SUBJECT ASSESSMENT PANEL Group to which module should be linked: Camborne - Engineering Professional body minimum pass mark requirement: N/A MODULE AIMS: To understand the need for feedback to improve system accuracy and dynamic performance, translate the properties of various sensors into interfacing requirements for signal processing, and develop an understanding of how modern automation is used. Examine the steady state and dynamic performance of control systems and the strategies used to implement open and closed loop control systems. ASSESSED LEARNING OUTCOMES: (additional guidance below) At the end of the module the learner will be expected to be able to: Select and interpret a variety of data from different control systems and identify the required inputs and outputs Design and construct ladder logic programmes Investigate and critically analyse the operating characteristic of open and closed loop systems. Evaluate the use of microcontrollers and embedded control systems 22 April DATE OF APPROVAL: FACULTY/OFFICE: Academic Partnerships 2016 01 Sep DATE OF IMPLEMENTATION: SCHOOL/PARTNER: Cornwall College 2016 DATE(S) OF APPROVED CHANGE: TERM/SEMESTER: All Year SECTION B: DETAILS OF TEACHING, LEARNING AND ASSESSMENT ACADEMIC YEAR: 2017 – 2018 NATIONAL COST CENTRE: 115 MODULE LEADER: Peter Thorpe OTHER MODULE STAFF: None SUMMARY of MODULE CONTENT Basic control systems, strategies, system dynamics Transfer function concepts Test signal, ‘s’ plane, step and transient responses, model estimation Closed loop systems PLC programming Sensor interfacing Analysis of system frequency response and stability. SUMMARY OF TEACHING AND LEARNING [Use HESA KIS definitions] Scheduled Activities Hours Comments/Additional Information Lectures 40 Core Material Practical Classes and Workshops 10 Practical classes using industrial controllers Students are expected to put in additional time Guided Independent Study 150 outside of taught sessions. (NB: 1 credit = 10 hours or learning; 10 credits = 200 Total 100 hours, etc)
