Abstract

This paper describes the factory automation experiments that are part of an overall program to upgrade the Electrical Engineering control laboratories at the University of Missouri-Rolla. The experiments utilize Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and involve sequencing, scheduling, timing, coordination, interfacing of industrial controllers, and factory communications. A heating and ventilation control experiment has been developed and will be used by the students for the first time in Fall 1993.
