Note from June 29, 2020
Although we do not yet know how long the social distancing related to the Covid-19 pandemic will last, and regardless of the changes that had to be made in the evaluation of the June 2020 session in relation to what is provided for in this learning unit description, new learnig unit evaluation methods may still be adopted by the teachers; details of these methods have been - or will be - communicated to the students by the teachers, as soon as possible.

The contribution of this Teaching Unit to the development and command of the skills and learning outcomes of the programme(s) can be accessed at the end of this sheet, in the section entitled “Programmes/courses offering this Teaching Unit”.
Content
The course covers the various topics listed in the "Main themes" section. It is an introductive course in the field of industrial automation, where both sensors and actuators are covered (mainly pneumatic and electropneumatic actuators, such as industrial robots), and where the coordinating "system" is overviewed. This "system" is restricted to a sequential approach: hard-wired and programmable logics are covered and practiced in practical laboratories. Students will perform these labs by groups of 2 people, on didactic benches for pneumatic and electropneumatic systems, and on an industrial conveyor. They will further manipulate an industrial robot.
