MET 28400 - Industrial Control Systems For Smart Manufacturing
Credit Hours: 3.00. This course examines the principles and practices of industrial control systems with a primary focus on programmable logic controllers (PLCs) as the foundation of automation. Students develop practical skills in programming, interfacing, and controlling electromechanical devices, while applying control concepts to real-world industrial scenarios. The course introduces software-based control solutions that reflect modern approaches to flexible and scalable system design. A hierarchical view of control is presented, connecting device-level logic to overall system operation. Throughout the course, industrial electrical safety standards are emphasized to ensure safe, reliable, and professional practice in industrial environments.
Learning Outcomes
1. Apply control principles through the programming and configuration of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) for industrial automation.
2. Design PLC-based control strategies for interfacing with and operating electromechanical devices.
3. Evaluate traditional PLC platforms with emerging software-based control solutions in the context of modern industrial automation.
4. Demonstrate industrial electrical safety standards in the development and implementation of control systems.
5. Troubleshoot PLC-based control circuits and systems.
Credit Hours: 3.00
