COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course IE 412 IE Industrial Automation Lecture is about automation
industrial machinery systems and subsystems controls that relevant to the
mechanization in the scope of industrialization. The course IE 411L IE Industrial
Automation Laboratory encompasses application of pressurized air, Pneumatic
Systems and Electro-Pneumatic Systems. The course deals with the application
and execution/implementation of air powered actuators and its control devices
needed in its operations.
