Topics include electrical print reading, basic motor control, various switches and sensors, and relays and solenoids. A study of electrical system control principles will begin with relay logic hardware and then proceed to applying Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) ladder logic software. The student will develop ladder logic diagrams from functional word descriptions and then program the controller. Process control design projects such as conveyor, machine, etc. will be stressed by creating the program from a functional word description of the process. Tours of local manufacturing plants will be included, if time permits. Corequisite(s): ETEE 2731. As needed. (T)
