Objective

Student knows the role of the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) in machine automation, control systems and process industries. Student can develop sequence-based PLC programs, which control simple automatic machines. Student understands how the sequence logic is implemented utilizing the theory of finite state machines. Student can develop PLC programs with Function Block Diagram (FBD) and Structured Text (ST) programming languages. Student can design simple user interfaces for industrial automation applications.
