  • MET 200: Robotics and Motion Control

    4.00 Credits
    Reading Area Community College

    This course provides the student with a background in the programming and application of industrial robots and general purpose synchronized multi-axis motion control. Whereas in Rotating Electrical Machines the student learned how various types of motors and drives operate to create motion in a single axis, this course expands upon those concepts by combining multiple axes of motion to perform useful functions such as creating a flexible manufacturing system utilizing robots. In Introduction to PLCs, the student learned how to apply programming to create sequences of events. This course broadens that knowledge by using different programming languages to initiate and control motion sequences. The student will learn how to implement electronically many of the simple machines introduced in Industrial Mechanics 1 & 2 such as gear drives, belt drives, line shafts and cams. This course also introduces the student to techniques and products that are based upon IEC international standards and discusses the concepts of standards-based control.

  • MET 220: Advanced PLCs (ControlLogix or S7)

    4.00 Credits
    Reading Area Community College

    This course covers advanced principles and applications of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and familiarizes them with a more advanced PLC family than that used in Introduction to PLCs. The student has the option of working with the Rockwell/Allen-Bradley ControlLogix system or the Siemens S7 system. The student should discuss the selection with his or her advisor. The course begins with an orientation to the new platform by reviewing the subjects covered in Introduction to PLCs. Among the advanced topics are PLC real time considerations, various levels of PLC networking, alternate programming languages for PLCs, international standards applied to PLCs, integration of logic and motion control in PLCs, integration of process control in PLCs, advanced human/ machine interface (HMI) for PLCs, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) with PLCs, alarm management, batch control, power failure strategies, and process safety.
