IMC 3030 - Introduction to Sequence Control

Clock Hours: 180

Delivery Mode
on-ground

Prerequisites: IMC 3020

Course Description:
This course introduces students to the essential tools, methods, and concepts of electrical measurement and sequence control. Students will learn to use various electrical measuring tools, such as testers, insulation meters, and clamp meters to perform diagnostics on voltage, current, continuity, and insulation. The course also covers the fundamentals of sequence control, including basic circuit design, classification, and understanding of sequencing drawings and time charts. Through theoretical lessons and hands-on exercises, students will develop the foundational skills needed to diagnose electrical systems and design basic sequence control circuits.
