Description
Who is the course for?
The aim of this module is to provide an introduction to
programmable logic controller concepts and their applications in
engineering. It focuses on the design characteristics and internal
architecture of programmable logic control systems, the signals
which are used and the programming techniques, giving students the
opportunity to produce and demonstrate a programme for a
programmable logic device.
What will I study?
Investigate the design and operational characteristics
of programmable logic controllers
• describe the design
characteristics of typical programmable logic devices
• describe different types of input and output device
• describe the types of communication…

software
• identify elements associated with the preparation of a
programmable logic controller program
• produce and demonstrate a programmable logic controller program
of at least 50 instructions for an engineering application.
Assessment Outcomes: At the end of these modules the
student should be able to demonstrate a practical capacity to carry
out the tasks listed to a commercially acceptable standard,
applying principles correctly in context but may not yet have
developed a deep understanding of the theoretical underpinning of
the subject. Optional assessments are included.
