ELT 230 - Programmable Controls

6 Hours: 4T, 2L

Prerequisite: ELT 209 or ILT 197
This state-of-the art course includes the fundamental principles of programmable logic controls (PLCs) including hardware, programming, and program design. Emphasis is placed on hardwiring associated with PLC, different options available with most PLCs, basic ladder logic programming, developing working programs, timers, counters, different special functions, and designing programs from existing hardwired systems. Upon completion, students will develop programs, load programs into PLCs, and troubleshoot systems.
