Course Information
Description
An overview of the basics of programmable logic controllers, hydraulics and pneumatics. Basic system components, symbols and schematics are explored. Students gain hands-on experience with these systems in a lab setting, and in addition, work on a collaborative learning project with the 10606116 Machine Design course.
