PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLER













			Course Objectives At the end of the course, the participants will be able to: • acquire a functional understanding of industrial automation and instrumentation in general, and control engineering in particular; • understand and design ladder logic diagrams, the widely-used programming language of PLCs; • use application software for PLC programming, downloading, uploading, monitoring and documentation, be it online or offline through PCs; • execute and run programmable controller programs with actual loads; and • identify and isolate common problems encountered in the control systems of automated facilities; ::top:: Course Content The course will be completed for a total of 30 hours and will cover the following topics. • Introduction to electrical control systems (relays, timers, counters, basic applications, boolean algebra, logic circuit functions, circuit exercises) • Electrical ladder design • Introduction to PLCs • Programming and running SIEMENS PLCs • Programming and running ALLEN-BRADLEY PLCs • Programming and running OMRON PLCs • Introduction to application software: offline / online programming All the above topics have corresponding laboratory sessions. ::top:: Target Participants The participants should preferably be a holder of a Bachelor Degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, Industrial or Chemical Engineering. The course is also open to instructors of technical schools and industrial technicians. ::top:: Course Requirements The participants are expected to attend all sessions and complete laboratory assignments. ::top:: Training Methodology The lecture-discussion method will be used and sufficiently supplemented by laboratory and simulation work, which will constitute the hands-on portion of the program. The resource person and a laboratory technician will supervise individual and group exercises closely. ::top:: VENUE Sessions will be conducted at the Low Cost Automation (LCA) Room of UPISSI. Note: The UP ISSI reserves the right to make changes in training fees and other matters covered by this publication as it deems necessary. To ensure a slot in the program, please confirm attendance a week before the start of the course. ::top:: Contact Us E. Virata Hall, E. Jacinto Street UP Campus, Diliman, Quezon City 1101 Tel.
