Industrial Electronics

Designed to provide students with on-the-job practical field experience related to electrical and electronic industries. One credit is earned for each five hours of work experience per week. Prerequisites: instructor's permission.

Course focuses on initial development, design and implementation of TAG-Based programming ladder logic software and subroutines to perform industrial control processes and applications. Data organization, file management, relay instructions, comparisons, sequencers and PID control will be introduced and applied through hands-on exercises.

Programming and using graphics for touch-screen technology, and how to program symbolically for reusable ladder development. Includes use of software (C’More ™) to create human machine interface (HMI/MMI) technologies, object-oriented animated graphics, and enhanced trending, alarming, derived tag creation and event detection.

Focuses on the development, design and implementation of advanced programming ladder logic using tag-based data organization. Class focuses on the useful 'tag-naming' of PLC outputs, inputs and their use in PLC logic. Tag-naming enables students to construct PLC programs that are readable and understandable by tradespersons across industry.

Designed to provide students with additional on-the-job practical field experience related to electrical and electronic industries. One credit is earned for each five hours of work experience per week.

An overview of the proper maintenance associated with industrial and commercial equipment. Both mechanical and electrical hands-on skills will be included. Students will study bearing and bearing failures, vibration analysis, thermal imaging, specific plant safety hazards and the monetary benefits of a well executed maintenance strategy.
