Programmable Logic Controllers For Advanced Mechatronics Applications

Catalog description

This course covers advanced instruction set for programmable logic controllers (PLC) that includes: motion control, cam motion, product tracking, and other instructions necessary for packaging machinery applications. Other topics studied include: animations of packaging machinery systems using PLC emulators; advanced human-machine interface (HMI) layout design, configuration and interfacing HMI units with motion control PLCs: common industrial protocol (CIP) driven servomotor drives and their interface with motion control PLC; intelligent relays, PLC Input/output through CIP. Typically offered Spring. Prerequisite(s): ECET 26200 FOR LEVEL UG WITH MIN. GRADE OF D- Course Learning Outcomes After Completing the Course Successfully a Student will be do the Following: 1.
