Course Synopsis

This course enhances students knowledge

and understanding on electropneumatics
control system used in industrial
automation field. It also covers control and
integration of electropneumatics
components using programmable logic
controller (PLC).

Course Outcomes
CO 01: Explain programmable logic
controller (PLC) structure and
configurations.
CO 02: Design ladder program to control
electropneumatic system.
CO 03: Construct control operation system
for industrial-based electropneumatics
applications using PLC.
CO 04: Demonstrate the role of individual
in the team to achieve task completion

TOTAL

Marks
3+3+4 = 10%
5+5 = 10%
40+40 = 80%
100%

Class Rules
Student must attend each class right on time. If
80% attendance is not fulfill, the student maybe
failed from the subject
Those who are absent must present an evidence
of absences in order to retake any assessment
that has been missed during the absence period
Any missed assessment without any evidence of
absences will not be tolerate
Any take-home assessment must be passed up
before the due date
A deduction of marks according to the situation
will be applied to any late assessment submission
