The course objective is to acquire knowledge about components of factory automation used in pneumatic, electropneumatic and computer controlled automated systems.

The course outcome is the knowledge about basic components used in pneumatic, electropneumatic and computer controlled systems and methods of solving simple management problems in the factory automated systems.

- Basic components of automated systems - Mechanical components (guides, grips, etc.) - Pneumatic components - Electrical components - Pneumatic cylinders and motors - Pneumatic and electrical valves, controllers - Pneumatic and electropneumatic control system - PLK structure, Input-Output list, PLK programming - Instruction list- Leaders diagram

The course is held through lectures and laboratory practice. Knowledge is tested through projects which represent practical solutions to the given problems and through final theoretical examination. Examination prerequisite is successful defense of the project. Final examination is in the form of the test and is related to theoretical questions.
