5. Subject Implementations

AUTOMATION

This subject will introduce a fundamental of the automation in manufacturing sector, their components such as actuators,

sensors as well linear and rotary transportation devices. It will also covers on programmable logic controller (PLC) as the

main controller including its definition, main hard components, PLC programming languages, interfacing PLC with computers.

And will also learn how to integrates PLC hardware and software and their components.
