Builds on the skills developed in ET 130 and applies the concepts learned to Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) systems. Includes hardware topics installation procedures, wiring diagrams, system architecture, and I/O modules and software topics basic logic elements, timers, counters, program control, math functions, data manipulation, sequencers, shift registers, and file/word transfers. Includes lab activities utilizing RSLogix and RSLinx software for creating, editing, saving, downloading, and uploading programs. Applies subject material from lecture in the laboratory through the use of PLC training systems. Uses drawings to construct control circuits, analyze the process, make revisions to wiring or set-up configurations as necessary, and evaluate the proper operation of the PLC circuit. Credit may be earned in SKET 122 or ET 122 but not both.
