COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course demonstrates a wide range of prewired control circuits which
are both manually and PLC controlled. Troubleshooting by down-loading software
malfunctions is included. Three insertion panels contain all the sensors, relays,
motors, tachometers, and monitor lamps. The course requires the use of the Smart
Builder (S450C) for PLC control & the S450PSB
Power Supply.
COURSE TIME: 100 Hours
