RANKEN TECHNICAL COLLEGE

Course Description - This course explores, through lecture and hands-on construction, various types of electromechanical relay logic control circuits as applied in the industrial environment. The student will study ladder logic and component wiring design. The operations of these circuits operation are also emphasized through lab exercises. Fundamental motor control is studied from its basic application through advanced instruction sets. Students will be involved in hard wiring motor control components using ladder logic into functional control circuits. Students will perform various calculations as required by the NEC. Students will program and troubleshoot PLC programs that use basic to intermediate level instruction sets. Transformer theory and commercial/industrial power distribution systems will also be covered.
