ARET1190 — Programmable Logic Controllers
This course will introduce the student to Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC’s). This course will utilize Allen Bradley’s software suite and introduce the student to logic and machine control common in Mechatronics Systems. Topics include hardware and software composition of control systems, input/output interfacing, basic logic commands and common programming instructions. Knowledge of relay logic, ladder programming and input/output devices is needed to understand and maintain all types of common packaging equipment. This course is aimed at entry level technicians who may be involved in the assembly, test, start-up, troubleshooting, maintenance, repair or upgrade of basic packaging machinery modules. This course is the first in a series of two courses, which will prepare the student for PMMI’s Mechatronics Certification Test for PLC Level 1.
