SIP405C Programmable Controller Applications

The course contains three prewired panels designed to interface with the Smart Builder (PLC). Panel 1 contains a DC motor and drives, along with a demonstration type Motor Generator Set. Panel 2 contains the complete circuitry for a Stepper Motor, which can be manually operated or controlled by the PLC. Panel 3 contains two types of Servo Control Systems. The complete course, contains 18 major laboratory exercises. The course provides for 75 - 100 hours of instruction.
