Aims and objectives

This unit covers sensors, signal conditioning, digital logic and programmable logic controllers used in electrical and electromechanically cyber physical systems. The unit will examine sensors that are typically used in industry to accurately measure force, heat, radiation, pressure, physical distance (width, length and thickness) both angular and linear and chemical composition. The unit will introduce the fundamental of digital logic and signal conditioning techniques as applied to Programmable Logic Control based systems.

 
Unit Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this unit students will be able to:
