Mechatronics is a combination of mechanical and electronic engineering in Japanese and English. In this course, you will study
sequence control using a programmable logic controller (PLC) as a mechatronics system and its related applications. Topics
include ladder logic diagrams, input / output modules, power supplies, controller and instrument interfaces. In addition,
using the H8 microcomputer system, you will practice C language programming running on the microcomputer.
There are several ways to build a mechatronics system. As a basis of mechatronics, you will learn three parts: mechanical
parts, electrical parts, and software parts. Then, build a PLC system that combines them. In addition, you will learn how
to control the system using C language using the H8 microcomputer system.
- Construction of sequence control system using electromagnetic relay
- PLC Programming with ladder language
- Programming for H8 microcomputer with C language
