IRAA205 — Advanced PLC Programming
This advanced course builds on introductory PLC skills and focuses on using PLCs for complex, real-time control applications. Students will work in the lab to program advanced instructions, configure analog I/O, and implement feedback loops for closed-loop control. Topics include PID control, servo and stepper motion control, VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) integration, and industrial networking. Students will design, wire, program, and troubleshoot complete control systems that coordinate sensors, actuators, drives, and PLC logic for precise motion and process control.
Prerequisites: IRAA-105, IRAA-210
