Centre of Competence for Automation Technologies

Integrated Center of Competence with Skill development center will serve the needs as Center of competence for engineering stream and Skill development for +2 onwards Science background students. The technologies dealt in this Centre will be Hydraulics, Pneumatics, PLC’s, Sensorics, AC Servo drives, CNC Control systems.
The Centre will be able to accommodate:

PNEUMA : means “Breath or Wind” in Greek word   “Pneumatics is the name given to the branch of physics which treats with the properties, motions and behavior of Air”.TheMedia Selection Criteria are:Speed of Operation, Reliability, Service Life,Sensitivity to Environment, Ease of Maintenance, Available Expertise, Training Requirements.

Programmable Logic Controllers:

The PLC is an Industrial Computer. It is capable of Storing Instructions to implement control functions such as sequencing, timing, counting, airthmetic, data manipulation and communication.The I/O interfaces provide the connection between the PLC and the information providers (inputs like pushbuttons, sensors,…) and the controllable devices (outputs like valves, relays, lamps,…).

Sensorics:

Sensor is a device that measures a physical quantity and converts it into a signal which can be read by an observer or by an instrument. For example, a mercury thermometer converts the measured temperature into expansion and contraction of a liquid which can be read on a calibrated glass tube. A thermocouple converts temperature to an output voltage which can be read by a voltmeter. For accuracy, all sensors need to be calibrated against known standards.

 

AC Servo drives

CNC:

The IndraControl L is a modular and scalable control. The device combines the benefits of an embedded-PC architecture with a standardized I/O system based on terminal technology. The control is a universal hardware platform that can be used for motion-logic and PLC applications. The hardware is available in system-specific versions and in different performance classes (e.g. with or without SERCOS III interface). The control provides onboard interfaces, e.g. 8 high speed inputs and outputs and communication interfaces, such as SERCOS III, Ethernet, PROFIBUS, DeviceNet, PROFINET, as well as EtherNet/IP. Via the integrated PCI bus, additional modules extend the Indra‐Control L by additional field bus and technology interfaces. The locally available I/O units can be extended by the Rexroth Inline I/O system, just by simply mounting the components side by side. Application programs, including runtime, are completely stored to an easily accessible Compact Flash medium. Observe the support of the selected runtime system and version when selecting the performance class and functionality.The PLC sequential program is principally capable of communicating with all function areas and subsystems of the overall system. The manual describes the functions that can be addressed directly by the PLC sequential program using the PLC operands.These interfaces between the PLC and the NC are configured in the input/output area within the IndraLogic using the  configurator of the IndraLogic programming interface. Each interface can be configured individually.
