PLC Programming (P)

RAET205C - PLC Programming Students will develop a thorough understanding of modern, industry-standard PLC hardware and software to enable them to user PLCs effectively. Topics include the PLC as a task specific computer; program scan; relay ladder logic; digital and analog; MCR; sequencers/drums; functions and function blocks; RLL, SCL, FBD; Human Machine Interface (HMI); and other industry related topics. Numerous industry examples will be explored and discussed. Labs will emphasize program organization, documentation, audience awareness, maintainability, robustness, fault tolerance, and debugging.
