ADMF 122 - Industrial Electrical II


PREREQUISITES/COREQUISITE: INDT 113 - Industrial Electrical I  or EECT 111 - Introduction to Circuit Analysis

PROGRAM: Advanced Automation and Robotics Technology
CREDIT HOURS MIN: 3
LECTURE HOURS MIN: 2
LAB HOURS MIN: 2
DATE OF LAST REVISION: Fall 2022

This course covers the basics of electrical components in a complex mechatronic system including robotic automation. Based upon a physical system, students will learn the basic functions and physical properties of electrical components, and the roles they play within the system. Technical documentation such as data sheets, schematics, timing diagrams, robotic programs and system specifications will also be covered. By understanding the complete system, the flow of energy through the system and measurements on the components, students will learn and apply troubleshooting strategies to identify, localize and (where possible) to correct malfunctions. Preventive maintenance and safety issues for electrical components within the system will be discussed.

MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course the student will be expected to:

  1. Understand the hazards of electromechanical equipment and apply safe working practices. [c]
  2.  Attain readiness in electrical troubleshooting area for Siemens Level 1 mechatronics certification to be delivered in ADMF 202. [g]
