Advanced Instrumentation and Programmable Logic Controls (PLC)

Catalog description

This course presents the fundamental scientific principles of process control including temperature, pressure level and flow measurements. This course introduces programmable logic controllers and how they are applied to the control machine and process systems in industry. Emphasis will be placed on learning the common instructions and symbols used in the PLC programs and how to read and interpret faults in a manufacturing system. Analysis of potentiometric operation and calibration procedures and methods of installation, troubleshooting techniques of automatic control systems. Laboratory instruments and test equipment will be used to support theoretical concepts.
