Course Descriptions
ELT249
Programmable Logic Control Input/Output Devices
This course provides the student with the essentials needed to establish a foundation in industrial automation and control (input/output devices). Specific product experience with high end I/O devices includes, but is not limited to, the design and use of sensors, final control elements, recorders, operator interfaces, and electronic controllers. The course will present the principals, methods, and rationale on how remote sensing and actuation are combined with modern communication techniques to effectively monitor and control industrial processes. Automatic timing, control, and communications offer a challenging and accelerated opportunity that will prepare the student for the needs of industry. In addition the course will also explore the concept of front end engineering. 4 Credits (3 Lecture - 3 Lab)
Prerequisite(s): ELT234 and ELT235.
