Introduction to Programmable Logic Controllers (24 hours)
7/1/08-7/24/08 (Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays)
GATC 146
9:00 am – 11:00 am or 3:30 pm – 5:30 pm
Instructors: Tom Jagunich
Cost: $495 (Normally $595)
This course is designed as an introduction to programmable logic controller systems (PLCs). Participants receive an introduction of PLCs and gain an understanding of the capabilities for controlling processes, equipment, and other functions in an industrial setting and learn the basics of programming these systems along with the input and output devices. This hands-on course features: identifying the main components of the PLC systems and describing their functions; describing the flow of information through a PLC system; navigating through the software; transferring, monitoring, and running projects using a PLC-5, SLC-500 and control logix systems; interpreting simple ladder logic programs; understanding and addressing I/O systems; setting up communications between the processor and the I/O systems; getting started with programming systems; setting up the communications between the programming system and the processor; programming languages; numbering systems; programming timers; programming counters; and downloading and uploading programs.
