This Basic Motorcycle Rider course consists of classroom and range instruction designed for beginning riders and was developed by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF). The Basic Rider Course covers preparing to ride, turning, shifting and braking, street strategies, special situations, increasing riding skills, maintenance and insurance. Instructors are certified by the MSF and Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT). It is taught off-street, out of traffic, and motorcycles and helmets are provided. In addition there is a 5 hour ECourse that must be completed within 30 days prior to class(fees for ECourse are included in the overall class price).
This Basic Motorcycle Rider 2 course consists of classroom and range instruction designed for riders with their Wisconsin Motorcycle Instruction Permit who are either returning to riding or are seeking a refresher course to practice and/or seeking their motorcycle license or endorsement (already licensed or endorsed riders may also participate). Any person over the age of 16 may enroll in this course. The student must already possess basic riding skills such as starting out, stopping, and turning. Students must bring their own 2 wheel motorcycle which may be a manual or automatic. Students must provide proof of registration and insurance for the motorcycle they will be using. In addition there is a 4 hour ECourse that must be completed within 30 days prior to class(fees for ECourse are included in the overall class price) The in-person portion consists of eight range exercises, including a screening exercise to verify participants have sufficient skill to continue. This course may also be used to waive the road test when applying for the Wisconsin Motorcycle license, as long as the student also completes the E-Course.
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.
Provides the learner the skills necessary to engineer and design a product manufacturing solution using SMART manufacturing equipment, concepts & simulation.
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.
Focuses on the interconnected systems utilized in industrial applications that can proactively communicate improvements in productivity and efficiency. Focus on configuring and Implementing smart sensors, gather configured data from PLC controllers to provide the ability for data collections will be studied. Other topics will include, identifying the correct hardware, installation and wiring, sensor configuration and control.
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.
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.
