EET 235 — Programmable Logic Controllers
This course offers electricians, maintenance mechanics, or electronic technicians a first course in programmable logic controllers. It focuses on the underlying principles of how PLCs work and provides practical information about installing, programming, and maintaining a PLC as a separate stand-alone automated control component. No previous knowledge of PLC systems or programming is necessary. This course presents PLCs in a generic sense, and the content is broad enough to allow the information to be applied to a wide range of PLC models. All topics are covered in small segments, developing a firm foundation for each concept and operation before advancing to the next. Each topic covered contains a variety of generic programming assignments that are compatible with most types of PLCs.
