Merit Malta Ltd.

PLC Programming

Using a simulation environment to design mechatronics systems. The virtual system was used to study:
▪	An active analogue low pass filter, 
▪	Multiple power Interactions.
▪	Bipolar and unipolar PWM electrical energy in RL load control.
▪	Controlling a DC engine with constant exciting stator current.
▪	Gear box and planar arm controlling. 

Ability to create mechatronics systems and study various aspects of a system in a virtual environment, to control the movements of robot’s arm. Hand’s on experience working with a planar robot and Interfacing the robot with the simulating software. Working independently on the said project, using extensive online and literature resources effectively and working on short time project goals. Exposure to a foreign environment and opportunity to socialise with international academics.
