CG02-5 Industrial Data Networks
What am I required to do in this assignment?
Introduction
This is an Individual Report (based on practical work). The prototype network and report Viva Voce will be conducted and evaluated individually.
Assessment 2A – Individual Report (based on practical work) (50%)
An Individual Report based on a produced prototype network in a PLC simulator. Non-submission will automatically result in failure of this
assessment. No late submission will generally be accepted.
Assessment 2B – Viva Voce (20%)
A Viva Voce will follow on 4 January 2021. Only students who have submitted the report are eligible to proceed with the Viva Voce. The Viva
Voce will be individually.
Tasks to be done
Choose one of the below scenarios and produce a prototype using PLC Simulation.
• Scenario 1: Produce a prototype for an industry to control 3 motors sequentially and START each motor one by one.
• Scenario 2: Produce a prototype to control lamp/light of the staircase in a two floor factory, using two switches, one at ground floor
and second at first floor.

Module title & code CG02-5 Industrial Data Networks
Assignment number and title 2A and 2B
Assessment type Individual Report (based on practical work) (50%)
Viva Voce (20%)
Weighting of assessment 70% (50 + 20)
Module learning outcomes On completion of this module you should be able to:
1. Appraise the industrial data network protocols and analyse the techniques used in
industrial data network.
2. Combine the industrial data network requirements and create a prototype network.
2
• Scenario 3: Produce a prototype to automatic Control the Lamp in factory storage Facility as if we press the switch all will be ON
together and more energy will be consumed.
• Scenario 4: Produce a prototype to initialize parameter when the industry machine is powered up so the operator does not require
to process all data again in case of power failure.
Actions:
1. Evaluate the given situation.
2. Analyse functional and non-functional requirements.
3. Produce a prototype network in a suitable simulator.
4. Measure the performance of your prototype.
5. Prepare a report with the findings and interpretations.
Deliverables
A report with a minimum of 2500 words covering the following tasks is expected.
The structure of the report should be as follows:
• Problem Description
• Problem Diagram
• Problem Solution
• List of Inputs/Output
• PLC diagram
• Program Description
• Runtime Test Cases
• Conclusion and Recommendation
• References
Key Deliverables and Important Dates:
Last date for submission of draft: (xxxxx). Send the draft by e-mail to your teacher, Ms Zainab
Any draft submission after this date will not be accepted.
Last date for Final Submission: (xxxxx). The final report should be submitted in MOVE on or before (xxxxx, 6:00 PM). Nonsubmission will automatically result in failure of that assessment. No late submission will generally be accepted.
Each student must submit the report individually in the module’s MOVE page. The submission will be followed by a viva-voce.
Is there a size limit?
(2500 words)
What do I need to do to pass? (Threshold Expectations from Module Descriptor)
Design a prototype network in a suitable simulator and submit a report with appropriate rationale, followed by a viva-voce of
the report and artefact developed.

How do I produce high quality work that merits a good grade?
Justify your design choice and demonstrate understanding of the design choice for developing certain components of a
wireless networking system for a given scenario.
How does assignment relate to what we are doing in scheduled sessions?
During the scheduled sessions an introduction, overview and practical activities will be provided enabling students to appraise
and apply the technologies in simulated, virtual or real environments.
How will my assignment be marked?
Your assignment be marked according to the threshold expectations and the criteria on the following page.
You can use them to evaluate your own work and estimate your grade before you submit.
