IRAA206

This course explores techniques for diagnosing, troubleshooting, preventing, and managing faults in Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). Students will gain experience troubleshooting physical and software problems as they might experience them in the field. Software techniques will be examined to build more robust systems that are hardened against different types of failures. Best practices will be explored for PLC-to-PLC communication and data historians to collect, store, and analyze data from PLCs. During lab students will apply theory directly to physical hardware to put theory into practice.
