II. Advanced Instrument Logic:

Course Objectives:
The overall course objective is to teach students the fundamental concepts, methods of analysis, and
design of programmable logic controllers and systems.

Specific objectives include the following:
1. Design a PLC system, component, or process to meet a set of specifications.
2. Design, conduct, and interpret a validation test of a PLC system.
3. Students gain an understanding of the role of PLCs in safety critical systems.
4. Students gain proficiency with Allen Bradley RSLogix, a PLC programming package, and utilize
this software package to solve problems on a wide-range of PLC problems.
