Introduction:
Automation in the industrial workplace provides the advantages of improving productivity and quality
while reducing errors and waste, increasing safety, and adding flexibility to the manufacturing process.
In the end, industrial automation yields increased safety, reliability, and profitability. This specialisation
course is taught in Boot camp mode. Boot camp are 12 weeks, intense learning sessions designed to
prepare the students for the practical world – ready for either industry or becoming an entrepreneur.
Student will be assisted through the course, with development-based assessments to enable progressive
learning. Industrial automation course introduces Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC), Field level
Instrumentation and SCADA/HMI Systems used for Industrial Automation. The students will get
appropriate knowledge and exposure to configuration of Industrial Controllers and development of
application programs. Also covers Interfacing with SCADA/HMI systems used for remote monitoring &
control of industrial process units and machines.
Leading to the successful completion of this boot camp, students shall be equipped to either do an
internship in an organisation working on Automation and Robotics or do a capstone project in the
related field. After the completion of Diploma, student shall be ready to take up roles like a Programmer,
Supervisor and can rise up to the level of Manager, also can become Entrepreneur in the related field
and more.
Pre-requisite
Before the start of this specialisation course, student shall have prerequisite knowledge gained in the
first two years on the following subjects:
1st year – Engineering Mathematics, computer Aided Engineering Graphics, Fundamentals of Electrical
and Electronics Engineering and Basics of Electrical power system, Communication Skills, Statistics &
Analysis, Basic IT Skills, Project Management skills and Residential wiring.
2nd year- Transformers and Alternators, Transmission and Distribution, Switchgear and Protection,
Analog and Digital electronics, Electrical motors, Power electronics, Fundamentals of Automation
Technology and Computer Aided Electrical Drawing.
In the third year of study, student shall be applying previous years learning along with specialised field
of study into projects and real-world applications.
Course outcome:
On successful completion of the course, the students will be able to:
CO1 Develop and test the PLC program for a given industrial application using simulation
software.
CO2 Install, troubleshoot and maintain the PLC.
CO3 Interface VFD/servo motor with HMI and PLC to control various motor parameters.
CO4 Automate the given process and troubleshoot the system for its defects.

PLC connected to a pair of pushbutton switches and light bulbs as shown in this illustration:
Examine the following relay ladder logic (RLL) program determining the necessary switch
statuses to energize lamp Y, and the necessary switch statuses to energize switch Z:

Sketch a Ladder Diagram program for this PLC to energize the lamp if the following input
conditions are met:
• Switch A pressed
• Switch B pressed
• Switch C unpressed
When PB1 is pressed feed unit advance & motor runs for 5 secs only if the job is
present and clamped then return back.
After delay of 3 secs cycle repeats until PB4 is pressed.
Each operation can also be operated manually by individual push buttons
Parameter: PB3 press everything off.
Cycle should repeat if PB1 press again after completion of one cycle
Note : Theory questions shall be aligned to practical questions

The parking lot which has a capacity of 200 cars is to be controlled by a PLC system. The sensor S1 and
S2 are used to count the car at the entrance and exit. If the number of the cars reaches to 200, red light
is lit and the gate arm is closed. The arm stays closed until one or more parking space is available in the
lot. The gate arm is controlled by activating/deactivating the gate solenoid (GS).
2.a) L4 10
This PLC is being used to start and stop an electric motor, and also to shut it down automatically if any
of three “shutdown” conditions occur:
Excessive vibration
Overcurrent (overload heater contact)
High winding temperature
b) L4 10
Work pieces are transported to a processing unit on a conveyor belt. The work pieces have to be
separated upstream of the processing unit. The separating cylinder’s end positions are monitored
using magnetic proximity switches.
1. Select a suitable proximity switch for monitoring the end position of a cylinder.
2. Explain terminology from the field of proximity switch technology.
3. Determine whether or not a solenoid valve can be directly actuated by a proximity switch.

5. PLC system still doesn’t come up even with proper powering
b) L4 10
Suppose we have an PLC connected to a pair of pushbutton switches and contactor controlling power
to an electric motor as shown in this illustration:
This motor control system has a problem, though: the motor refuses to start when the “Start”
pushbutton is pressed. Examine the “live” display of the ladder logic program inside this PLC to

6.a) L4 10
Unfortunately, though, there is something wrong with this system. The pump does not run, regardless
of what the operator commands using the touch-screen panel. When you examine the VFD faceplate,
you see a few LED indicators lit, but nothing either confirming or denying that power is reaching the
motor.
Supposing the only test equipment available to you is a digital multimeter (DMM), what diagnostic
tests could you perform to identify the location and nature of the system fault?
b) Suggest troubleshooting Procedures and Corrective Actions for servo drive for the following faults L4 10
1. The servo motor runs faster in one direction than the other
2. Servo motor stalls
3. The LED light is green, but the servo motor doesn't move
