本課程之主旨在於使學生瞭解可程式控制器PLC之一般原理及設計應用。上課採講解、討論、實驗室控制線路實習及專題個案設計。期能未來從事整體機器之系統化設計及機電整合工作。 為因應實驗空間及設備之限制，先行教授課程之基礎原理及PLC，開學後即直接進入專題個案設計開發實作階段。 除了授課之外，將在指定教室或實驗室經常進行階段性專題個案口頭報告，研討設計開發構想和執行進度，期末進行專題個案成品實際測試與展示，探討開發系統之性能與可靠性。

1.PLC一般原理及設計應用
2.致動器與感測器介紹
3.控制線路實習
4.專題個案設計與實作
5.口頭報告、書面報告與成果測試與展示

Course description :
This course teaches students to be familiar with the working principles, designs and applications of the programmable logic controller (PLC). The learning efficiency of students will be enhanced by handling a special design project of an automatic machine. Through diverse presentations and reports, the students can practice the whole engineering process for design and development of an automatic system.
