IRAA105 — Introduction to PLCs
This introductory course is designed for students with little or no background in industrial automation or PLCs. Students learn what a PLC is, why it is used in industry, and how it fits into modern robotic and automated systems. Through lecture and a highly hands-on lab, students will wire basic I/O devices, create and test ladder logic programs, and safely operate simple automated processes. Emphasis is placed on understanding real-world applications, reading basic electrical diagrams, and building confidence with PLC programming software and hardware.
