FLPT 243 — Advanced Machine Controls (5 cr)
This course is a study of the advantages of programmable logic controllers (PLC) over relay logic machine control. Students learn the advantages of machine control available when using data manipulation features in PLC programming. Converting relay logic electrical schematic drawings to PLC schematics, developing a PLC program from a specific machine sequence of operation, programming the PLC and verifying the program on a machine simulator board wired to the PLC are emphasized. Prerequisite: FLPT 131. (SCC)
