    Description
    Students will learn how to connect Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), upload and backup programs, and obtain diagnostic data from operational PLCs. Students will interpret and draw ladder logic diagrams, and document and implement control processes using ladder logic programming on PLCs. Lab activities will include connecting various process sensors to PLC inputs as well as connecting relays to outputs to drive motor contactors, indicators, and handshaking.
