Career Technical Education (CTE) course
Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
Employ and demonstrate a systematic and logical approach to designing and implementing tag-based PLC programs. Streamline PLC programs through the use of advanced PLC functions such as data transfer, compare/math, and subroutines. Understand and explain the functions of touch panels (HMIs) in the context of PLCs. Develop programs that allow for interaction between HMIs and PLCs.
