It willintroduce the PLC and Ladder logic programming.Learning Objectives: After this lesson the student should be able to (a) describe what aProgrammable Logic Controller is (b) understand basic AOI Boolean Logic (c) be able to write asimple Ladder Logic program.Administer: Pre-Test (Appendix A)Concepts for Teachers:The first PLC was introduced in the late 1960s. The first commercial and successfulProgrammable Logic Controller was built by Modicon Corp. as a replacer part for GeneralMotors. Originally, it was a machine with thousands of parts, but in the late ‘70’s with

How many in a 3D equilibrium problem? Explain why we can only have this many unknowns.” And “For vectors a and b, what is the difference between a x b and b x a? Why is it important for calculating moments?” These exact same two questions were given in 2012.Statistics: Results from the three offerings were compared using one-way ANOVA on ranks withp<0.05 considered significant.
