About Industrial Automation, PLCs and Robotics
GoConqr OriginalWhat this unit covers
The largest share of the page is about programmable logic controllers. The mind map Programmable Logic Contollers describes them as specialised computers that control machines and processes, designed for industrial environments unlike a standard PC. Around it sit many shorter PLC maps, a set of programming maps, and Allen-Bradley material.
Beyond PLCs, the page reaches into supervision and control. The SCADA mind map defines Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition as software and hardware used to supervise plants locally and remotely. Another map works through a troubleshooting question: is a drive communicating with a SCADA system?
Robotics and wider systems
Robotics is covered by the Robotics and Automation Systems mind map, a map on the position, orientation and location of a rigid body for studying robot manipulator kinematics, and others on robot navigation and dynamics simulation. There are also maps on pneumatics, mechatronics and a packing plant upgrade, which show automation in real settings.
Where to start
- Open the Basics of PLCs mind map for the overall picture.
- Work through the flashcards Basics Of Plc Programming, which separate data files from program files in memory.
- Take the quiz PLC Chapter 1-4 Part 1, which asks you to select the main functions of a PLC, such as timing, counting and comparing.
- Move on to the PLC Timers flashcards and the second-part quizzes.
- Finish with SCADA and the robotics quizzes.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a map first to see how ideas connect, then take a quiz on the same topic. Where you slip up, go back to the matching map or flashcard deck. The deck for Chapter 5 of Industrial Maintenance Third Edition is useful for electronic components, while the Chapter 6 deck covers voltage, series circuits and capacitance.
This unit belongs to the Measurement, Control and Automation strand of Electrical and electronic engineering. Choose one topic that you find hardest, and start there.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the Basics of PLCs mind map to get the overall picture, then try the quiz PLC Chapter 1-4 Part 1. It checks the main functions of a PLC, so you will quickly see which topics need more work before you move to programming.
What do the mind maps cover?
Most of them cover PLCs, including programming, Allen-Bradley and industrial control systems. Others cover SCADA, industrial networks, pneumatics, mechatronics and robotics topics such as kinematics and navigation. A few describe real projects, like a packing plant upgrade and a pump duty standby setup.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users rather than by GoConqr itself, so it is worth comparing a couple of maps on the same topic.
Who are these resources for?
They suit university students and professional candidates practising PLC logic, plant control and robotics, plus teachers who want ready-made material for classes. The page lists no named exams, so it is best used as general topic practice.
Are there flashcards for the electrical basics?
Yes. One deck covers electronic components and circuit boards from Industrial Maintenance Third Edition, and another covers voltage, series circuits and capacitance. There are also decks on relays, PLC input ratings and PLC timers.
What if I cannot find my topic?
Try the related maps, since PLC topics are spread across many short ones. If something is still missing, a free account lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes, and it saves your quiz scores.
