About

You will be able to

  • Explain the elements of a mechatronic system and open and closed loop control
  • Select sensors and transducers for displacement, speed, proximity, force, temperature and light
  • Explain electrical actuators such as relays, solenoids, DC, stepper and servo motors
  • Read and draw simple pneumatic and hydraulic circuits and calculate cylinder force
  • Write simple PLC ladder programs with timers and counters
  • Describe mechatronic products such as washing machines, ABS and robots

Who it is for

  • Diploma Mechanical Engineering students of Semester 6 (BTEUP)
  • Diploma Electrical, Electronics and Mechatronics students
  • Students aiming for automation and maintenance jobs

What you need

  • Basic electrical and electronics knowledge from earlier semesters

Questions

Is PLC programming included?

Yes. Ladder logic with contacts, coils, timers and counters is taught with simple examples.

Do I need to know electronics?

Basic knowledge from earlier semesters is enough; the required electronics is revised in class.

Is this course based on the BTEUP syllabus?

Yes. The units follow the BTEUP (Board of Technical Education, Uttar Pradesh) diploma syllabus. If your polytechnic follows a different board or a revised scheme, the centre teaches your own syllabus.
