J. Gaspar
In this
page some suggestions are provided to alternative works whose understanding allows
doing an interesting presentation for the industrial automation course.
- Coloured Petri Nets, papers and demonstration
software are available in the Internet
- Busy Beaver Turing Machines, lessons to
take from the busy beaver machines?
- Discrete Differential Analyzer (DDA),
making a simulator in Matlab or Simulink,
or simply describing its historical origins are two
interesting veins
- Networking with PLCs, description of
protocols such as MODBUS or PROFIBUS, or simply communication packets analysis,
are interesting subjects for a presentation
- CODESYS – industrial IEC 61131-3 PLC
programming, https://www.codesys.com/,
networking or running code generated by Matlab are
two interesting veins
- PLC training software, 30days trial in http://www.realgames.pt
- IO Petri nets, http://gres.uninova.pt/IOPT-Tools/login.php
- Electro-pneumatics "Pneutrainer
200", http://www.smctraining.com/webpage/indexpage/341/
- Interfacing Arduino
to PLC, freeware hardware and software are nowadays available
- Arduino Physical Computing Kit vs
PLC, one kit is available for the students to test one or more sensors;
list of Schneider PLC accessories is also available for comparing the hobby
market with the industrial market
