EE 101MOTORS AND CONTROLS4
This course serves as an introduction to what motors are and how they work. The history of electric motors, the methods of operation of motors, structural features and applications of motors are covered in detail. The operational and control aspects of DC/AC motors, stepper motors, linear motors and servo motors are discussed. Additionally, real-world applications of electric motors and microcontroller-based programming of motors are systematically covered.
Basic electronics including energy levels and bands, semiconductor construction, electron-hole conduction characteristics and areas of application of various bipolar semiconductor devices. Application of diodes and rectifier circuits and filters. Transistor operation analysis for common emitter configurations. Topics include DC biasing arrangements, stabilization methods for DC operating point and AC gain, input impedance and output impedance.
An introductory course in digital concepts, which includes number systems, codes, Boolean algebra, Karnaugh maps, gating circuits, characteristics and properties of integrated circuit logic families, logic circuit analysis and logic circuit design. Types of flip-flops, counters, registers and their applications are explained. A weekly laboratory enables the student to apply the principles taught in the theory portion of the course.
The emphasis in this course is on the software, hardware, and fundamental concepts of automation. The first part of the course will focus on how PLC’s and Ladder Logic are used to control industrial processes and manufacturing. An introduction to different types of motors and sensors is given. We will build and control entire systems including robots using microcontrollers.
This course will analyze bipolar differential amplifiers, operational amplifiers, feedback, class A, B, and C power amplifiers, and single stage FET amplifiers. The advantages and disadvantages of each will be discussed, including costs. Prerequisites: EE122.
