CIM 231 - Motors,Controllers & Sensors

Institution:

Camden County College

Subject:

Description:

This course is designed for CIM and Manufacturing Engineering students. It combines hands-on experiments with lecture topics. Covered topics will include AC and DC power, AC and DC motors, open and closed loop control, and stepper motors. Induction and commutation will be covered. Photoelectric, capacitive, and inductive sensors will be discussed and used. Optoelectronics, pneumatics and solenoid valves, transformers, and motor name plate reading will be covered. Faraday's Laws will be investigated. SCR, Triac, Relay, and Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) speed control techniques are discussed. NPN and PNP transistors, current-limiting resistors, exercises are performed. Laboratory exercises will include computer control of stepper motors, PLC control of a DC motor, motor dismantling, sensor applications and identification, design and building of a photoelectric switch and lead screw pitch determination. Both mechanical and solid state relay labs will be conducted. Qualified industrial experience will fulfill the prerequisite requirement. Lecture ( 30.00) Laboratory ( 30.00) Prerequisites: EET-101
