ELE 245 - Integrated Motion Control & Robotics


Last Date of Approval: Spring 2021

4 Credits
Total Lecture Hours: 45
Total Lab Hours: 30
Total Clinical Hours: 0
Total Work-Based Experience Hours: 0

Course Description:
This course will introduce students to touch screen graphic displays, PLC motion instructions, and 6-axis robotic equipment used in many aspects of industry. In addition to learning proper wiring and installation practices, the students will create graphics programs, PLC programs, and robot programs, which will be used to operate integrated multi-axis motion systems, for hands-on experience in robotic automation. These skills will allow the student to have the ability to apply for a more diverse career field with higher pay scales. The advanced logic used in programming will give the student an ability to discern several types of information in their future lives.
