Download our free curriculum grid to find resources that are mapped against module 10 Engineering and manufacturing control systems.
In the free download, you will find information on where to find content to support the teaching of:
10.1 Principles and applications of control system theory.
- Input
- Process (logic gates (AND, OR, NOT), timer, comparator, pulse unit, counter, latch)
- Output
- Signal
- Feedback
- Open and closed loop systems
- Transfer function
- Summing points
- Analogue
- Digital
- Pulse width and amplitude modulation
- How control systems are represented in diagrams
- Applications - electrical
- Applications - pneumatic
- Applications - hydraulic
- Measured parameters (pressure flow, temperature, speed, position)
10.2 How sensors and actuators are used in automation control systems.
- Sensors and actuators – types (analogue, digital, active, passive)
- Applications (switches, proximity sensors, laser, vision systems)
- Power sources
- Uses in automation – Position and volume of objects being processed
- Mechanised lifting and moving of objects
- Measurement applications (electrical, mechanical, thermal, chemical, biological, optical, acoustic, radiation)
