Abstract
This course is the study of industrial electronics as it relates to factory automation. It prepares the student to connect and troubleshoot the sensors and transducers used in modern manufacturing facilities. Emphasis is placed on the operating characteristics of the sensors and transducers and the electrical theory of how to connect them to automated controllers like a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). The students will learn how to automate processes by writing control software such as Ladder Logic to operate the PLC. The inputs and outputs of the PLC will be connected to, and operate, actual sensors and transducers in a lab environment.
