Provides students with advance study in motors and controls. This course addresses both Alternate Current (AC) and Direct Current (DC) motors and drives as well as encoder and other sensor feedback. Students design, build, and troubleshoot motor control circuits including Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), drives, and other programmable controls for specific applications. Both open- and closed-loop controls are also discussed. A course fee is required. Prerequisite: IA 201 with a grade of C or higher, or permission of the Discipline Lead.
Covers the application of computer control of manufacturing methods. This course addresses how numerical control (NC) and computer numerical control (CNC) machining processes are integrated with computer-aided drafting techniques. Students are taught to import exchange files from CAD into a CAM program to create tool paths. A course fee is required. Prerequisite: CAD 154 and MDES 207 with grades of C or higher.
Addresses ladder logic and its use in programming industrial programmable logic controllers (PLC’s) and structured text in microcontrollers. This course covers such topics as the use of using discrete Input/Output (I/O), timers, counters, and sequencers to control automated systems for manufacturing applications with the focus of instruction being on Allen Bradley PLC’s using AB software and Structured Text on Microcontrollers. A course fee is required. Prerequisite: ELEC 100 or ELOC 153 with a grade of C or higher. 316
Introduces students to the programming and maintenance of industrial robotic systems. This course covers the history and applications of industrial robots, safety, system anatomy, spatial coordinate systems, and general maintenance. Through hands-on studies using Yaskawa Motoman industrial robots, students develop competency in operation and basic programming for tasks including material handling and welding. A course fee is required. Prerequisite: IA 221 with a grade of C or higher, or permission of the Discipline Lead.
Focuses on maintenance, programming, and application considerations. This is an advanced industrial robotics course in which students develop competencies through extensive hands-on studies using Yaskawa Motoman and ABB industrial robots. System configuration, maintenance, and troubleshooting are covered as well as application specific topics such as tooling and advanced programming. A course fee is required. Prerequisite: IA 210 with a grade of C or higher.
Provides students with the essential knowledge of industry standard IEC61131-3 programming languages and automated systems. Students are taught data standards and programming languages as set forth by the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission), as well as HMI (Human Machine Interface) programming. Students develop and apply skills and knowledge through project-oriented work that employs tasks and scenarios common within the industry. A course fee is required. Prerequisite: IA 208 with a grade of C or higher.
Provides an advanced study in electrical controls for automation and artificial intelligence systems. This course teaches students about the types, characteristics, installation, and applications of a variety of industrial sensors, which include, temperature sensors, inductive sensors, photoelectric sensors, positioning sensors, and vision systems. Laboratory activities include wiring control circuits that use sensor technology, tuning Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) loops, and programming controllers. A course fee is required. Pre- or co-requisite: IA 208 with a grade of C or higher; or permission of the Discipline Lead.
