Necessary software for automation or electrical specialty

Today, a classmate asked me what skills the automation major needs to master , think it over and over again , Some skills are realized by software tools , Skills are inseparable from software , We can master the skills while learning software , Today, I'd like to introduce some software that automation or electronic and electrical majors need to master , These software Whether looking for a job or going to graduate school , It's all very helpful .

1. Multisim

Why the Multisim As the first recommendation ？Multisim yes NI Launched an excellent circuit simulation software . We study electricity , It is always inseparable from the circuit , The circuit in the textbook is too ideal , I always feel abstract when I look at those pictures , Now we can use Multisim Simulate a specific circuit , Adjust the parameters , It helps us to understand the working principle of the circuit more deeply and intuitively , Get rid of rote learning .

2. Visual C++

This software may be very controversial , Because it's older , however ！ It is computer level two C A compiler used in language examinations , Hardware engineers can't just understand hardware , Software is also required ,C Language is a very good choice , And this is also a required course for many majors , The software itself is not difficult to use , We mainly use this compiler to learn C Language , That's the point . In the future, you may have GCC or Visual Studio Wait for the compiler , But everything changes .

3. Keil

Keil Is the beginning of fun , This involves a single-chip computer 、 circuit 、C Knowledge of three parts of language . We can use C Language in Keil Under development environment , Write our program , Burn it into a single-chip computer , Control motor or other peripherals , Or do a simple car control program , Or some temperature acquisition alarm programs , Even Four rotor aircraft . from Keil The beginning is the real link to apply what we have learned , It was also my favorite content at that time .

3. Matlab

I haven't heard of Matlab Engineering Students , No scientific research .Matlab There is no doubt that , From Harbin Institute of technology has been banned Matlab You can see that .Matlab It has powerful computing function , For beginners , We can use matlab Solve some equations or matrices , Verify some algorithms , Or system modeling and simulation . If you want to further study your major ,Mablab essential .

4. Quartus or Vivado

Quartus yes Intel Companies to develop FPGA Environment , The corresponding is Vivado, In recent years Intel Of FPGA The more perfect the learning materials are , No matter Quartus still Vivado Can be used as a learning choice . The operating logic of the two is quite different , And the operation is more complicated , Choose according to your own needs , Through this software, we should master Verilog HDL Language and FPGA The basic development process of .

5. STEP7 Microwin

How can anyone who studies automation not know PLC Well ？PLC It is widely used in industrial environment ,STEP7 Microwin Siemens used to develop PLC S7-200 Of , We need to master PLC Basic rules of ladder diagram in programming , At the same time master PLC The basic development process of .

These are the basic software for automation , Every piece of software is really valuable , Both employment and postgraduate entrance examination are very useful , We must study hard , It is strongly recommended to collect before learning .
