EMMT1540 — Ladder Diagrams
Academic Division: Business, Industry and Technology Academic Discipline: Electrical Maintenance Assistant Dean: Vincent Palombo PhD 1 Credit(s) A study of the practical knowledge required to maintain and troubleshoot industrial control equipment properly by locating and properly identifying the nature and magnitude of a fault or error. This involves the understanding of electrical components, their symbols, and their relationships. Emphasis is placed on reading and understanding elementary ladder logic circuit diagrams based upon electrical standards, and above all else, promoting safety. UG 3 Lab Hour(s) Required Identify control components by their schematic symbols. Weeks 1-11 – Lab exercises, quizzes, midterm and final. 2. Identify logic circuits as a Boolean function. Weeks 1-3 Lab exercises, quizzes, midterm and final. 3. Install, test and troubleshoot various industrial control circuits using Ladder Diagram schematics. Weeks 2 – 15 Lab exercises, quizzes, midterm and final. 4. Classify input devices as to their environmental control function, temperature, pressure, motion, flow, or light. Weeks 2 – 15 Lab exercises, quizzes, midterm and final. 5. Identify logical control functions, such as latches, interlocks, timing, counting, or sequential using ladder diagrams. Weeks 2 – 15 Lab exercises, quizzes, midterm and final. 6. Describe in detail the types of documentation used on a ladder diagram, such as, contact references, dashed and solid lines, component lettering, pa
