3 courses with the subject ELTR, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
ELTR 2620Control System Communications3
This course is a practical study of the theory, setup, and operation of communication equipment used in control systems. The course includes lectures to describe commonly used communication hardware and protocols and laboratory work to configure the communication methods. The student must demonstrate the ability to describe these topics and successfully configure various communication scenarios in the lab.
This course is a continuation of ELTR 2815 (Programmable Logic Controllers) in the study of PLCs. This course focuses on the techniques and laboratory practice for programming and troubleshooting PLCs and their incorporation into industrial control circuits. Topics of study include safety, schematic, and ladder diagrams, as well as programmable logic controller applications, programming, operation, and graphic user interface programs such as human-machine interfaces (HMIs). Other topics learned may include safety, HMI communication to a controller, database creation, window creation using programming objects, parameter files, animation, and alarming. The student must demonstrate the ability to connect an HMI to a controller, create an HMI project, and troubleshoot an HMI, as well as demonstrate the ability to program, connect, and troubleshoot practical industrial control circuits utilizing PLCs and personal computers. This course will include classroom lectures that will be reinforced with lab work using industry-standard hardware and software.
This course is a continuation of ELTR 2885 (Instrumentation II) in the study of instrumentation techniques. The emphasis is on the adjustment and calibration of instrumentation contained in industrial process control systems. Topics include conductivity, pH, chromatography, gas analyzers, optical analyzers, humidity, calibration and testing procedures, process control modes and methods, and computers in process control.
