ESP 4010 - Industrial Electronics


Clock Hours: 426

Delivery Mode
on-ground

Industry Certifications Electronic Systems Repair Technician Diploma

Course Description:
The Electronic Systems Technician Diploma with a specialty in Industrial Electronics prepares the student to perform all the tasks contained within the Electronic Systems Repair Technician Diploma, plus perform electrical/electronic tasks related to an industrial environment. This may include specification, installation or repair of industrial automation and control equipment that includes fluid power components, electrical wiring and relay control circuitry; motors; ac drives; plc’s and robotics. The operation and installation of software may also be included in day-to-day responsibilities. This position is likely a part of an industrial maintenance group

Student Learning Outcomes:
Pneumatics and Electrical Control of Pneumatic Systems:

The Lab-Volt Pneumatics Training System is a modularized presentation of the principles of pneumatic energy and its controlled application. This course covers electrical circuits and ladder diagrams for pneumatic applications and expands upon the introductory program with pneumatic applications demonstrating pneumatic controls, programmable controllers, sensors, proportional and servo controls. The covered applications are based on those encountered in industry.

Power Technology:

  • DC Power Electronics : Diode, Switching Transistor, High-Speed Switching, Ripples, Battery Charger, Buck and Boost Choppers, Four-Quadrant Chopper
  • DC Motor Drives : PWM DC Drive, Unidirectional and Bidirectional PWM DC Drive, Regenerative Braking, Speed Feedback, Current Control
  • Single-Phase AC Power Electronics : Diode Rectifiers, PWM Inverter
  • Three-Phase AC Power Electronics : Rectifiers, Single-Phase PWM Inverter with Dual Polarity DC Bus, Three-Phase PWM Inverter
  • Thyristor Power Electronics : Diode Rectifiers, Solid State Relay, Single and Three AC Power Control, Three-Phase Rectifier/Inverter
  • Three-Phase Induction Motor Starters
  • Three-Phase Motor Drives : Variable-Frequency, Constant V/f ratio

PLCs:

This course will enable students to develop competence in operating, programming, and troubleshooting a true industrial Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). The CM184 curriculum begins with basic wiring concepts and moves quickly through circuits, I/O, ladder logic and programming. Additional units focus on troubleshooting, practical applications, and the special features of the Allen-Bradley SLC500.

Each unit in the curriculum includes programming and wiring experiments, which stimulate proficiency in controller operation and industrial applications. The experiment station permits easy access to the PLC input/output terminals with simple banana-jack connectors. This allows rapid set-up and testing of wiring changes, using the built-in input/output devices including pushbutton switches/lights, thumbwheel input, and BCD display output, or user-identified external devices. The SLC500 controller is programmed using ladder diagrams, and each programming element is entered directly via the Windows-based RS Logix programming software.
