Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) is a four and one-half day course that covers the theory and practical use of programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Students successfully completing this class will earn 3 CEUs. Topics include historical development, electromechanical and digital-logic technologies, number systems, Boolean algebra, ladder logic programming concepts, analog and discrete I/O specifications, internal logic functions, specialized hardware, digital and analog control applications, and industrial networking basics.
The Allen-Bradley SLC-500 is the primary PLC utilized in the course. Lab exercises range from basic programming to the design of interlocks, alarm circuits, and applications requiring event timing, output sequencing, program flow control, and analog I/O manipulation. Practical troubleshooting exercises include the use of I/O forcing, data table monitoring, field-device testing, and appropriate use of internal PLC diagnostics. The importance of documentation, regulations, and maintenance procedures are also discussed.
Topics to be covered include:
- PLC Overview
- Number Systems
- Logic Fundamentals
- PLC Components
- Allen-Bradley SLC 500
- Basic Elements of PLC Programming
- Timers and Counters
- Data Manipulation
- Analog Control
- PLC Installation and Safety
- Troubleshooting PLC Systems
- Data Communications/Networks
Course Certification: A student who successfully completes this course in addition to receiving 3 CEU’s will be issued a certificate attesting to his/her satisfactory completion of the course.
Prerequisites: A general proficiency with application programs running under MS-Windows on a laptop computer. A working knowledge of digital electronics, and prior experience with industrial instrumentation and controls is helpful.

The Calhoon MEBA Engineering School holds the distinction of being the first national maritime training plan designed by Union and Industry. Fitting, as MEBA is the oldest maritime union, and second oldest of all unions in the United States. The school is funded by Labor and Management, and governed by a Board of Trustees - six shipping companies' representatives and six union representatives. Today’s school grew out of "Operation LEAP" (Licensed Engineers Apprentice Program). MEBA President, Jesse Calhoon, established Operation LEAP after being approached by government and industry leaders in the mid-1960s to help find a way to meet the critical shortage of qualified marine engineers needed during the Vietnam war. To satisfy the demand, this program, renamed the Calhoon MEBA Engineering School in 1966, took high school graduates through two years of intense study, including six months of sea time. Later, the program expanded to three years, with a full year of sea duty. By balancing traditional classroom work with hands-on equipment training, it prepared cadets for a career in the merchant marine upon their graduation.
