Activities include create schematic drawings (ladder logic and point to point), panel drawings, and PLC-I/O circuits using automated commands for symbol insertion, component tagging, wire numbering, and drawing modification. In addition, they are introduced to methods of customizing AutoCAD Electrical symbols, circuits, and databases.
Focuses on integration of a complete automated manufacturing cell. Typical components include programmable controllers, robot, sensors, drives, conveyors, pneumatics, hard automation, control wiring and vision systems. Students plan, wire, program, troubleshoot and develop an automated manufacturing process based on the “product” chosen by the group. All required programming and documentation for the entire automation system is required
Focuses on the concept of programming and using vision guided robotic systems. Both remote hard mounted vision systems and robot mounted vision systems will be introduced. Learners will learn how to create vision programs and configure the robot to work with the camera system to allow storage and bin picking applications. Both 2D and 3D camera systems will be introduced.
Explore the design and troubleshooting of Ethernet/IP networks. Topics introduce students to integrating Ethernet networking communications, architectures, protocols, and security. Students will learn through hands-on lab activities covering setting up communication systems, networking configurations, and troubleshooting techniques.
Explores the fundamentals of Human Machine Interface (HMI) software and hardware. Students will learn about configuring communication with programmable controllers and project settings. Students will create and edit displays, browse tags and/or global objects and connections. Additional topics include trending, data logging, alarms, and animations.
Explores two main topic areas: PLC and HMI machine applications. The learner will demonstrate the ability to learn to program a PLC they have not worked with before as well as an HMI they have not worked with before. The learner will integrate the study of curriculum, technical manuals, help files and previous knowledge to demonstrate their ability to learn new technology. Learner will develop several PLC applications and several HMI applications integrated with the PLC.
Introduces the concepts of Industry 4.0 and the key aspects that workers will need to be prepared for in the intelligent factory setting. Robotic automation, smart manufacturing, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) concepts will be explored.
Introduces the concept of setting up and programming various safety devices including GuardMaster Smart sensors, Programmable safety relays and safety PLC’s, The course will focus on how to setup, program and integrate safety components into your automation project.
Introduces the concept of looking at a current outdated automation process or future automation process and understanding how to correctly specify the hardware components that will be used to update the machine or process with today’s automation technology. The concept of creating and writing a project proposal will also be covered.
Prepares learners to perform basic nursing skills under the supervision of a nurse for job entry as a nursing assistant or a home health aide (HHA) in health care agencies. Face-to-face and hybrid classroom, campus lab and clinical instruction are offered at various nursing homes and hospitals throughout the district. Students need to submit an application and complete background check.
Learn what remote IO is and how to implement a POINT I/O system. The course will cover determining the quantity and type of I/O needed to test your system. This course will also show students how to calculate power requirements and decide whether an expansion power supply will be needed. Students will also add and configure an Ethernet adapter and I/O modules in a Studio 5000 Logix Designer project.
Organize and develop FactoryTalk View Site Edition (SE) applications. This course provides opportunities for learners to organize and develop FactoryTalk View SE applications. During class, learners will have the opportunity to practice the skills used to create/build graphic displays. Learners will learn how to configure alarms and security, trend data, and test their application using FactoryTalk View SE Client. Learners will also work with RSLinx Enterprise communications software
Continuation of SCADA Systems 1, learners will organize and develop FactoryTalk View Site Edition (SE) network/server-based application. Learners will have the opportunity to practice the skills needed to create/build detailed graphic displays, trend charts and data logs. Learners will learn how to configure alarms and set up system security, build data logs, and test their application using FactoryTalk View SE Network Distributed Application.
Explores the Artificial Intelligence available in the world today and discusses how it has helped. We will look at modern A.I. (cell phones, televisions, internet companies, automotive applications and others) to see how it is already a part of everyday life. Autonomous robots will be controlled and reviewed to discover their capabilities. We will then utilize Oculus technology to review training options (fire extinguisher training, Lockout/tagout training). Microsoft Halolens units will be used to create mixed reality scenarios for class work and possible workplace training integration. 3D modeling will be used to develop simulations that will allow students to experience work that might not be conducive to our lab or too dangerous for us to do in the lab setting.
Synthesizing knowledge and skills gained through all preceding Smart Manufacturing courses, this is the capstone course for the Smart Manufacturing Technology associate degree. Building upon the Designing a Solution in a SMART Factory course, the learner will implement their own original design to manufacture products effectively and efficiently utilizing SMART manufacturing equipment and concepts. The learner will design processes, solve real-world problems, and produce products in a live intelligent manufacturing lab environment.
The Nursing Assistant Instructor Train-the-Trainer Program is designed to equip healthcare professionals with the knowledge, skills, and competencies needed to effectively teach and train nursing assistant students. This comprehensive program focuses on adult learning principles, curriculum development, lesson planning, teaching strategies, and student performance evaluation. Participants will also gain expertise in supervising clinical practice and ensuring compliance with state and federal regulations governing nursing assistant education.
Learner must have valid Wisconsin RN license and two years work experience (one year in long-term, home health, or rehabilitation care). This course will meet the state requirement for nurses who wish to become nursing assistant instructors.
