Teaching language

Suitable for English-speaking students

Objectives


The main objective of this course is to provide students the opportunity to integrate the knowledge acquired throughout the course by developing mechatronic systems applications based on microcontrollers, PLCs and PCs.

It is also objective of this course provide students with a set of structuring skills such as specify, design, implement and test control and/or monitoring of mechatronic systems.

Learning outcomes and competences

At the end of this curricular unit, the student should be able to:

• Identify the functional requirements of a given application;

• Set specifications of a solution to be implemented;

• Select the appropriate software and hardware;

• Conceiving, designing and implementing software and hardware interfaces;

• Programming microcontrollers, PLCs, PCs;

• Implement solutions for control and/or monitoring of mechatronic systems.

Working method

Presencial

Pre-requirements (prior knowledge) and co-requirements (common knowledge)

Students should have basic knowledge of electrical circuits.

Program

">1.Mobile Robotics (RM)







">Development of mobile robotics applications integrating actuators and sensors (inertial, color and image).

">2.Microcontrollers (M)
Amplifiers, transistors and optical couplers. ">TTL level I / O and power interface.
">Structure of a microcontroller, microcontroller families, communications RS323 serial, I2C, SPI.
">Transducer signal conditioning interface.
Programming microcontrollers. Interruptions. Arduino ">IDE interface and programming through LabVIEW.
">Development of control and monitoring applications of mechatronic systems

">3.Mechatronics automation (TAM)
">Detailed analysis of a automatic system, including hardware, software and technical reports.

">4.Automation Project (PA)
">At this stage it is intended that the student do an analysis of a mechatronic automation problem and propose a technical solution supported by a written document and an oral presentation.
The document should follow the template of a project proposal, including the definition of requirements, specifications, state of the art, proposed solution, Gantt diagram and budgeting for their implementation.

Teaching methods and learning activities

This course has a strong laboratory component of "hands-on", supported by lectures.
The lectures are for the presentation of program materials, supported by audio-visual means. Laboratory classes include the design and assembly of electronic breadboard circuits, as well as, the programming of microcontrollers, PLCs or PCs to implement control control and/or monitoring of mechatronic systems. This UC requires extra class time dedication.

The work planned in 1, 2 and 3 shall be performed in group, while the 4 is an individual work.

Calculation formula of final grade

The final classification of ordinary students is based on the realization of 4 laboratory work corresponding to the planning above.







> Mobile Robotica (RM, 20%)

> Microcontrollers (M, 20%)

> Mechatronics automation work (TAM, 30%)

> Automation Project (PA, 30%), written report and oral presentation.


Final classification (CF) = RM*0.2 + M*0.2 + TAM*0.3 + 0.3*AP
