CourseWork Marking Scheme

The document outlines the marking scheme for an assessment on programmable logic controllers (PLCs). It lists the elements that will be included in the report and assessed, such as a list of inputs/outputs, a flowchart, problems and their solutions, and the final PLC program. It provides the total marks available (100%) and breaks down the weighting of each assessment criteria, with the highest weight (30%) given to analyzing and describing problems and their programming solutions.

The Report Marking Scheme

A list of Inputs, Outputs, Relays, Timers, Counters, and registers (if any) used in your programs. It must contain a Flowchart and Pseudo Code and describe the functions and workings of the Dual Conveyor Cell Highlight problems or difficult programming sequences and describe in detail how to solve these A copy of the final Ladder or SFC program with appropriate comments and head lines Describe any improvements on programming or mechanics that could make the machine faster, more efficient and reliable to optimise the process and throughput.
