ETS1542 - Introduction to Programmable Logic Controllers

3 hours Lecture, 3 credit(s)

Lower-Division College Credit

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

Course Description:
This course covers fundamental ladder logic and provides a study of programmable controller theory and application techniques. This includes design and troubleshooting of PLC-based (Programmable Logic Controller) systems in classroom presentations, lab construction and redesign, simulation trainers, and multi-modal software learning labs. Basic instruction sets are presented and reinforced by computer-based training simulations. Hands-on replications of PLC functions are created in the lab with Rockwell/Allen Bradley and comparable PLC components.
