Learner Outcomes:

1. The student will be introduced to the op- eration and wiring of control devices. The student will design and draw an industrial control circuit.
 
2. Using the concepts of basic undervoltage circuit design, the student will design and draw a Master Undervoltage control circuit for a PLC System.
 
3. The student will build a knowledge base of the components in a PLC system. They will be able to distinguish between elements of hardware and elements of software. In an effort to build comprehension, they will run three simulations of program scans for the input tables, output tables and program tables.
 
4. The student will build a knowledge base of AB MicroLogix 1000, 1200 and 1500 PLC's capabilities. The student will draw an AB 1762-L24AWA wiring diagram.
 
5. The student will wire a PLC panel for a pumping station.
 
6. The student will connect a laptop computer to the panel and down load a program.
 
7. The student will be introduced to powerful trouble-shooting techniques and will use these techniques to trouble-shoot a circuit that they have wired on a test panel.
