MFG* 146 Programmable Logic Controllers

Credits: 3

The incorporation of the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is one of the fastest growing sectors in the field of electronics as the PLC replaces electromechanical control systems, such as electromagnetic relays and programmable logic devices (PLD’s).

Programmable Logic Controllers provides the student with an overview of the PLC, its hardware, numbering systems and codes, logic fundamentals, programming timers and counters, program control and data manipulation instructions, math instructions, sequencer and shift register instructions, and PLC installation, editing and troubleshooting.
Prerequisite: Completion of MAT 085 or higher with a C or better, or Accuplacer Arithmetic score of 230 or better.
