A New Lecture Method in University Education Program for Post Graduate Course on Motor Applications, Considering System & Control of Industrial Automation.

Abstract

Industrial automation apparatus & systems, which is based on motor application, are widely applied to various fields of industrial applications, such as metal rolling industry, paper industry and transportation system
The industry automation apparatus & system has been rapidly developed recently. As a result of the development, “multiple level of control system configurations”, in which motor drive apparatus level (by micro controller), master control level by programmable controller) and process control level (by mini computer or work station for control purpose) are included, has been established, as a general control system configuration for the industrial automation.
According to the technical background, the new lecture method in university education program for post graduate course on motor applications, considering system & control of industrial automation, has been tried for five years.
This paper describes the educational trial and evaluates its results.
