Course Content
The course content begins with the fundamentals of control systems and their relationship with mechatronics, followed by an introduction to PLCs and automation systems. Students develop basic control applications using LD programming in the CODESYS environment, then work on practical examples such as tank and conveyor systems using timers, counters, and mathematical blocks. A traffic light application is used for exam preparation. The course continues with Structured Text (ST) programming and advanced applications, followed by Sequential Function Chart (SFC) for sequential control systems. It concludes with an application exam and topics on sensors and electric motors, providing a comprehensive overview of key components in industrial automation.
Objectives of the Course
The objective of this course is to teach the fundamental principles of industrial control systems and to help students understand their relationship with mechatronic systems. Within the scope of the course, students are introduced to PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) systems and learn to use programming languages such as Ladder Diagram (LD), Structured Text (ST), and Sequential Function Chart (SFC) in the CODESYS environment. The course aims to develop students'ability to analyze and implement automation systems, as well as enhance their problem-solving skills through real-world applications such as tank systems, conveyor systems, and traffic light control.
