Course: Open EIC225 Programmable Controllers

Welcome to EIC225 - Introduction to Programmable Controllers!

Hello, my name is Sondra Hemard.  I have been working with automation for 15 years in a variety of industries most recently the oil and gas industry.  This is my first course to teach for Colorado Mountain College and I am excited to have the opportunity.  If you have any questions, the best contact method is email.

We will be studying Allen Bradley SLC 500 Programmable Controllers.  While there are many different PLC vendors, Allen Bradley is one of the industry leaders and is widely used on the Western Slope.  Once you have learned the basics, you can apply the knowledge to other vendors of PLCs, RTUs (Remote Terminal Units) and even DCS (Distributed Control System).
