Mechatronics 4
controls & robotics
Our Mechatronics 4 course, Controls & Robotics, is where students learn to make things move. With a delve into PLC’s (Programmable Logic Controllers), students go from powering a system to controlling its function and troubleshooting I/O signals. Alongside system function, students learn to operate and program robotic arms in a “real world” like project application.
This includes: Automated system safety, controls tooling, ladder logic understanding, automation system processes, use of PLC’s, & handling of robotic arms.
