PLC curriculum. Each lesson has specific objectives that identify the
anticipated level of understanding associated with the information
presented. While we cannot guarantee student success, our
experience indicates that those who complete the training are likely
to accomplish the stated objectives. Furthermore, if these lessons are
built into a total curriculum which includes practice in the working
environment, it will provide students with the knowledge necessary to
master the subject.

LOGIC CONTROLLERS

PLC00I Fundamentals PLC004 Troubleshooting

Purpose: This course introduces the fundamentals common to
all PLCs. It provides students with knowledge that is required for
learning how to program a PLC.
Objectives: Understand how the components of the PLC interact
with each other; discuss the different types of ladder logic; explain
AND, OR, and NOT functions with PLC ladder logic and boolean
identities; explain the difference between decimal, BCD, binary,
hexadecimal, and octal numbering systems; and complete simple
conversions.
PLC002 Programming
Purpose: This course explains the proper techniques and
procedures used in programming PLCs.
Purpose: This course explains the functions and devices
available for safely troubleshooting a PLC system.
Objectives: Understand how to use the troubleshooting devices
and functions common to most PLCs and troubleshoot a PLC
system for a problem.
PLC005 Communications & Advanced Programming
Purpose: This course explains the types of communication that
PLC systems use to interface peripheral devices or other PLCs.
Also, advanced programming functions such as the R-S, D, and
T Flip Flops, and commands such as ADD, MULTIPLY, SKIP, JUMP,
Sub-routines, and Sequencers, are explained to help maximize
programming efficiency.

Objectives: Utilize programming codes for normally open and
normally closed contacts; program AND, OR, and NOT logic
functions with mnemonic codes or ladder logic; interpret
addressing schemes; and properly document a PLC program.
PLC003 Inputs & Outputs
Objectives: Discuss PLC communications; program the Add,
Subtract, Multiply, and Divide math functions; program the One
Shot, R-S, D, and T Flip Flops; use the Sub-routine commands
Jump, Skip, and MCR; and understand how to use the Sequencer
function.

Purpose: This course introduces the different types of input and

output devices and modules. Also discussed are wiring techniques
and programming functions for manipulating analog data.

Objectives: Discuss the different types of discrete and analog

inputs/outputs; properly wire inputs and outputs; understand
how to use the MOVE and COMPARE functions to handle analog
derived inputs; and understand multiplexing wiring schemes.
