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.
