Programmable Logic Controllers

Catalog description

This course is designed to introduce students to the basics of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC’s) used in industry. PLC’s in both the online and offline modes, as well as ladder logic, logic gates, Boolean equations and truth tables will be explained and utilized in course demonstrations. While practicing proper safety procedures, students will examine discrete and analog input and outputs, hardwire sensor interfacing and troubleshooting techniques, so they can program PLC’s using timer, counter, latch, data movement, sequencing, and other instructions.
