本课程为自动化专业的主要专业课之一。本课程从实际工程应用和便于教学出发,主要介绍了电气控制技术及系统设计、可编程控制器原理及应用。通过本课程的学习，学生能够熟悉常用电器及其电气控制系统控制的基本原理、了解有关电气标准和电气制图方法，掌握可编程控制器（以台达DVP系列为例）应用技术（硬件/软件/编程实战）、掌握基于可编程控制器的自动控制系统的设计步骤和方法，具备初步的设计自动控制系统的能力。注意实践，通过编程实训来解决预设过程工程问题是本课程的特色。 This course is one of the main professional courses of the automation specialty. Characterized as practical application and ease of teaching, technology and design of electrical control system is introduced. The principle and application of PLC is described as well. Through this course, undergraduates are supposed to be familiar with common apparatus, the basic principles of electrical control. They will understand electrical standards and electrical mapping method, master applied technology (hardware / software / programming combat) of programmable controller (for example with Delta DVP series). Students know well the design steps and methods of PLC-based automatic control system, with a preliminary capability for design the automatic control system. Attention to practice and solving the simulated engineering problem via the programming practice are the characteristics of this course.
