Learning outcomes of the course unit:
By completing this course, the students have gained the basic knowledge about design and implementation of logic control. They know how to write and read logical expressions, compose control logic in state diagrams of finite state machines, and how to programmatically implement it in Stateflow. Students master the programming techniques of programmable logic controllers (PLCs), they can compose ladder diagrams, work with the memory of PLC, and are able to design efficient programs for logic control.
