Dongmyeong University "Skills Learned on Campus Are Directly Applicable to the Industrial Field"

PLC Training for Industrial Equipment Automation... Program Operating Devices by Receiving Sensor Signals
Departments of Ocean Engineering, Automotive Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering Conduct 5-Day Extracurricular Practice

Students participating in the PLC program course held at Dongmyung University for five days starting August 24 are fully engaged in practical training.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] A software program training course for implementing industrial equipment automation in industrial sites was moved to and conducted on a university campus.

Dongmyung University (President Jeong Hong-seop) conducted a total of 25 hours over five days from August 24 to 28, providing PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) theory and extracurricular program practice for industrial equipment automation to students from three departments: Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, Automotive Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering.

PLC technology is classified as a core technology that operates automation systems, receiving signals from various sensors to control specific equipment or devices.

Im Eun, a manager from B&R Industrial Automation (CEO Lee In-yong), was invited to give theoretical and practical lectures on the composition and principles of PLC and the operation of step motors.

Students practiced skills such as controlling LEDs and step motors through ST programming for factory automation PLCs.

Student Lee Yong-hee (25) said, “Through software education aimed at non-majors, I was able to understand practical skills and application methods in the industrial equipment automation field, which I had been interested in.”

He also said, “I overcame my fear of new fields and felt a sense of accomplishment through challenges in areas I was not usually familiar with.”

Dongmyung University’s extracurricular PLC program for industrial equipment automation was conducted with support from the 4th Industrial Revolution Innovation Leading University Development Project fund.
