Campus Report :
A daylong workshop on ‘Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)’ was in Rajshahi University of Engineering and Technology (RUET) recently.
RUET’s Department of Mechatronics Engineering hosted the workshop to devise ways and mean on how to overcome the existing challenges in this applicable field.
Vice-chancellor of RUET Prof Rafiqul Alam Beg and its students’ welfare adviser Prof Kamruzzaman Sarker addressed the workshop as chief and special guests respectively with the hosting department chairman Prof Imdadul Haque in the chair.
General Manager of Shah Cement Limited Engineer Lutfor Rahman and Mechatronics Engineer Nasik Akash from USA also spoke.
Prof Imdadul Haque told the workshop that mechatronics is a design process that includes a combination of all engineering field like mechanical, electrical, telecommunications, control and computer. It is a multidisciplinary field of engineering.
Besides, the PLC is used for automation of typically industrial electromechanical processes like control of machinery on factory assembly lines, amusement rides and light fixtures.
In industrial automation, traditionally relay logic or analog logic circuits were used for control and automation, he added.
Prof Rafique Beg hoped that the workshop will contribute a lot towards generating competent workforce in the automation field.
