Learning Outcomes AAv (AAv)

  • AAv5 [heures: 9, A3] (ergonomics): From an operational part controlled by a PLC with an existing program, the student group must be able to propose ergonomics allowing the interface with users.

  • AAv6 [heures: 9, C1, C2, C3] (communication): From an operational part controlled by an automaton with an existing program, the student group must be able to establish communication of the variables with the operator interface via an Ethernet connection.

  • AAv7 [heures: 14, D1, D3, D4] (interface programming): From a PLC program and given ergonomics, the student group must be able to program the operation of the interface by integrating safety locks, with a view to implementation and a critique of ergonomics.

  • AAv8 [heures: 4, C1, C2, C3] (parameterization): From an operational part controlled by a PLC with an existing program, the student group must be able to modify the configuration of the PLC program through supervision .

  • AAv9 [heures: 4, C1, C2, C3] (alarms): From an operative part controlled by a PLC with an existing program, the student group must be able to monitor the operation of the operative part at help of alarms managed in supervision.

Assessment methods

individual assessment: 1 oral interview. evaluation of a team (3 to 4 students): 4 oral methodological and technical validation interviews.
