IMFG 2200 Ind.Control Components and Equ
A study of components, instruments, equipment, and control techniques used in Industrial Control. The focus of this course is to build a fundamental understanding of industrial control and applications for industrial components, such as electric motors, variable speed drives, programmable logic controllers, servomechanisms, and sensors. Topics include: sensors (photo-eyes, proximity switches, limit switches, etc.); solenoid valves; mechanical relays, motor starters, contactors, etc.; solid state relays (SSRs); current limiting components (fuses, circuit breakers, overloads, etc.); transformers; DC power supplies; DC motor drives; AC motor drives (VFDs); Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs); Human Machine Interface (HMIs); motion control systems (SERVO); safety circuit components ( safety relays, light curtains, emergency stop buttons, etc.); encoders.
