Industrial Automation (PLCs and Robotics)
Industrial Automation (PLCs and Robotics) (72 Hours)
Industrial automation is the use of control systems including computers (programmable logic controllers PLCs), robots and related information technologies to manufacture products. This course provides in-depth knowledge and skills on both the PLC and robot components of industrial manufacturing processes. Practical experience is obtained working with PLC and robotic systems in the classroom. Web based lessons and simulations teach theoretical knowledge online.
The PLC component covers electrical safety and the installation, programming, troubleshooting and maintenance of PLC hardware and software. The information presented will enable you to effectively install, program and troubleshoot PLC hardware and input/output (I/O) circuits. PLC topics include Machine and Process Control, PLC Components, Hardware Configurations, Power Supplies, Discrete I/O Modules, Analog I/O Modules, PLC Programming, Processor Operations, Troubleshooting, Diagnostics and Commissioning.
The robot component covers human and industrial robot safety and the installation, programming, operation, troubleshooting and maintenance of a robot. Robot topics include Fundamentals of Robotic Systems, Robot Components, Applications of Robots, Sensors, Power Systems, Controllers, End Effectors and Tooling. You will obtain practical experience working with an ABB IRB-120 industrial robot. Prerequisites: Basic Electricity and Industrial Electricity. Intended Audience: Industrial Maintenance Electricians.
