6 credits

This state-of-the-art course includes the fundamental principles of programmable logic controls (PLC’s) including hardware, programming and program design. Emphasis is placed on hardwiring associated with PLC, different options available with most PLC’s basic ladder logic programming, developing working programs, timers, counters, different special functions, and designing programs from existing hardwired systems. Upon completion, students should be able to develop programs, load programs into PLC’s and troubleshoot the system.
