Course explains fundamental concepts used to control machines and processes, differences between hard wired logic and programmable logic and methods used to change logic. Emphasis is placed on what a programmable logic controller (PLC) is and how it uses hardware and

software to implement programmable logic.
Topics include manual, semi-automatic and automatic control, hard wired logic, related control components and logic circuits. Additional topics include programmable logic, PLC hardware and software, power supply, CPU, memory and I/O components, solving program logic, memory organization and PLC types.
