ENGI-1076Instrumentation and Control
Mechanical Engineering Technologists can become part of a team that design, implement and maintain industrial automation equipment for factory automation. Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are commonly used in industrial automation, and many of these industrial computer control systems use ladder logic as their main programing language. Common hardware associated with industrial automation (switches, pushbuttons and proximity switches/sensors) are used to validate ladder logic programing. In this course, we cover PLC hardware, ladder logic programing and sensor basics. This course will blend theory, case studies and practical applications to increase learner understanding.
