, dueto limitations in terms of lab capacity and an increase in number of students taking the course, itis difficult to provide each student, or even groups of students, with an individual trainer. PortablePLC trainers, on the other hand, do not require a large lab space.Historically, out-of-date, rack-mounted PLC equipment was used in the Department to supportthis class. While this provided the students with a procedural introduction to PLCs, it did not allowfor conceptual understanding or real world experience with the equipment.

If the surface is a mirror finish with no roughness,the light would be reflected back along the same path directly towards the laser source. If thesurface contains a rough finish the laser light will still reflect most of its light back towards thesource, but a portion of it will become scattered. Some of the scattered light will find its wayback down the tube, but not collinear with
