ENGR 2010 - Engineering Programming Robotics and PLC

Academic Division: Business, Industry and Technology
Academic Discipline: Engineering

Assistant Dean: Dr. Vincent Palombo

3 Credit(s)
This course is designed to help students with very little or no computing background, learn the basics of building simple interactive applications. This course will also cover the basic principles behind the operation of programmable controllers, the relationship between PC’s and the relay ladder logic, programming of PC’s, and troubleshooting of programmable controller circuits. The primary focus is on the use of automatic parts-handling equipment, contour applications and interfacing with emphasis on design for manufacturing. Topics include the use of conveyers, parts feeders, positioning equipment and safety systems. Hands-on laboratory experiences include operation of robots using the teach pendant. UG

2 Lab Hour(s)
