    Description
    This course covers control system troubleshooting, operation and adjustments of electro-mechanical systems, and the functions of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) digital Inputs and Outputs (I/O) that interface with field devices. Students will focus on troubleshooting methods using a CompactLogix PLC, and how to troubleshoot control system faults. This course provides exploration into troubleshooting methods using digital multi-meters, PLC ladder logic, and other instruments to test equipment used in industry to analyze faults with industrial control systems. Students learn how to operate, program, and adjust parameters, as well as troubleshoot AC variable frequency drives (VFD). Students will use industry recognized software (CCW and or Studio 5000) to monitor, network, and program VFDs and PLCs.
