3.00 Credits
This course will introduce the student to Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC's). This course will utilize Allen Bradley's software suite and introduce the student to logic and machine control common in Mechatronics Systems. Topics include hardware and software composition of control systems, input/output interfacing, basic logic commands and common programming instructions. Knowledge of relay logic, ladder programming and input/output devices is needed to understand and maintain all types of common packaging equipment. This course is aimed at entry level technicians who may be involved in the assembly, test, start-up, troubleshooting, maintenance, repair or upgrade of basic packaging machinery modules. This course is the first in a series of two courses, which will prepare the student for PMMI's Mechatronics Certification Test for PLC Level 1. (Prereq: None) (BP/EP) 3 cr

3.00 Credits
This course is designed for those students in the fields of Mechatronics and Packaging. Students will work with modern automation control devices to explore how various motors are used to control position and timing on industrial machinery. Students will work on multiple labs designed to develop their knowledge of these devices and components. Industrial networking, Programmable Logic Controllers, Process Control and PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) Controls will also be examined. An examination of various motor drives will occur during this course. AC and DC electric motors are commonly applied in multiple industrial operations including packaging equipment, machine tools, and processing equipment. The control of speed, torque and other parameters is growing in use, resulting in more complex motor drive systems. Technicians need to be proficient in the use of these technologies when they enter the workforce. (Prereq: ARET1155) (BP/EP) 3 cr
