Advance PLC - ELEG 411 1M1

Professor Jack Toporovsky

Email: ytoporov@bridgeport.edu
This course serves as the second in a two course sequence and covers advanced topics
and applications for programmable logic controllers (PLCs) as they are applied in
industrial automation and modeling and control of industrial process.
In the Level 1 student studied basic concepts and creating simple logics based on two
types of PLCs. Level II offered deep understanding theory and implementations of
different sensors, encoders, Variable Frequency Drives, Servo Motors, HMI with the
functions key, Touch Screens, Vision Systems, Robotic Cylinders IAI, Robotic Arm
programming.
Lab work will be aimed for making different logics in RS500, RS5000 and GX-
Developer (Melsec) languages, Cognex Vision System, Variable Frequency Servo Motor
(VFD), setup and programming. During the semester students will programmed different
types of the Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) and learned of the impact them in PLC
logics. The student will practice their knowledge of PLC programming, setup different
HMI and interfacing them with PLC and vision system, learned how to do automation
quality control by using them, monitoring and troubleshooting in the LAB.
