Abstract
This course covers the basics of Programmable Logic Controls (PLC), their purpose, components, how they function, how they are programmed and their integration into mechatronics systems. Students will be introduced to the methods of creating the ladder logic in an organized fashion, then writing programs for the controllers using RSLogix 5000. The PLCs running the programs will operate desktop training equipment as well as various manufacturing processes within a mechatronics system in the classroom.
