MECH1340 — Digital Fundamentals and Programmable Logic Controllers
MECH 1340 - Digital Fundamentals and Programmable Logic Controllers MECH 1340 - Digital Fundamentals and Programmable Logic Controllers 3 sem hrs cr (2 hours lecture-2 hours lab) This course is a study of basic digital logic and programmable logic controllers (PLCs) in a mechatronics system using the automation system SIMATIC S7-300 and the programming software STEP7. Topics covered will include basic PLC functions and testing; identification of malfunctioning PLCs; and troubleshooting techniques and strategies to identify and localize PLC hardware generated problems. Emphasis is on writing small programs and problem-solving using computer simulations. Formerly/Same As (Formerly MECH 1500) Transfer (UT) or Non-Transfer Course (UN): UN
