ARET2111 — Advanced Programmable Logic Controllers
This course will focus on Allen-Bradley Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC's) and Human Machine Interfaces (HMI’s). Problem solving and troubleshooting factory controls will be stressed throughout this course. This is accomplished using up-to-date Rockwell Software. Students will acquire an advanced knowledge of PLC’s, HMI’s, logic concepts, programmable controller program development, Input/output (I/O) configuration and translation from hardware to programmed logic. Students will develop, edit and troubleshoot programs employing a large array of instructions found in typical Mechatronic Systems as applied in Manufacturing systems, including logic flow, timers, counters, sequencers, math, and specialty functions.
