ETS 1540 - Industrial Applications

3 hours Lecture, 3 credit(s)

Lower-Division College Credit

Prerequisite(s): Completion of Engineering Technology Program core requirements or permission of the Program Director.

Course Description:
This course explores industrial use of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) in presentations, labs, and research. Multi-function 14 PLC’s and their applications are studied in class and at real-world industrial sites. Supply Chain/Logistics and materials flow, high-tech manufacturing and processing uses for robotic lines, conveyors, switches, and PLCs in various settings are explored, including ladder logic, video feed, and IR control for product movement and identification. Industry representatives provide hands-on experiences within the local workforce (where allowable), and computer simulations and labs provide instruction in PLC and robotic placement and use in industrial settings.
