Description
The Programmable Logic Controllers course teaches students to interface with programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Programmable logic controllers are the brains of all modern automation technology systems. In this course students develop a working knowledge and skill set in the following competencies: ladder logic, programming standards, hardware selection, various inputs and outputs, communication, troubleshooting, setup and installation.
Upon course completion, students will be able to:
• Demonstrate a working knowledge of safety practices and procedures.
• Operate, install, maintain, and program programmable logic controller systems.
• Demonstrate working knowledge of ladder logic programming.
• Apply motor control logic within a programmable logic controller system.
• Apply timers and event sequencing within a programmable logic controller system.
• Configure inputs and outputs for various applications.
• Apply systems diagnostics and troubleshooting of programmable logic control circuit.
