Deep Dive into Controls
Hello,
I’m an EEE student who recently obtained a position as a maintenance and controls technician. After my most recent semester, I’ve been shadowing the self-taught engineer at my plant full time. I feel entirely lost as my knowledge in PLCs and electrical wiring is very elementary. Everything that is explained to me feels foreign. For further background, I obtained an automation technology as well as an electronics technology certificate from my local community college. I would like to deepen my understanding in PLC programming, I do have some understanding in Studio 5000 and FactoryTalk. Any great resources or at home lab projects that would help introduce relays, drives, and motors?
Additionally, along with the lower division EE curriculum offered at my local cc, I am also pursuing Cisco CCNA classes. I believe this helps with understanding operational technology.
