Mechatronics is a symbiotic combination of precision mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, electronics, and computer design systems used to control and automate mechanical products with electrical signal.

A plethora of interests in electrical control and instrumentation (EC&I) industrial internet of things (IIOT) data analytics and machine learning; connecting physical and digital systems -which ultimately create the ‘smart factories’ of manufacturing.

Therefore, industrial processes require equipment in the form of machines and automated devices. One needs to understand the electricals, electronics, mechanics, and the controls (devices). Big question is “What equipment to use for an automated solution?”

This Course answers the question.

The course is about:

· Activity Plan

· Motor Control Center Load List

· Motor Control Center Switchgear Selection

· Motor Control Center Single Line Diagrams

· Understanding and Interpreting P&IDs

· PLC IO list

· PLC selection

· Project Design (Electrical Drawings in EPLAN)

WHO THIS COURSE IS FOR

This course is for everyone who wants to understand how Control Panels are designed, how components inside panels are rated and selected.

· Students in automation

· Beginners in Electrical Design

· PLC programmers

· Instrumentation Technicians

· Wireman or Panel Builder

· Artisans

· Managers

· Clients / Customers of Automation Solutions

· Induction For New Employees in EC&I Companies

OUTCOMES

-After completion of this course, you will know how to:

-Read and interpret P&IDs

-Classify instruments in a P&ID into Digital and Analog Input/Output signals

-To do an IO list and do a PLC selection

-To do PLC Bill of Quantities (BOQ)

-To use motor name plate and do load calculations and select switchgear

-To do a Motor Control Center Bill of Quantities (BOQ)
