BASIC SWITCHES the basis of all control systems types of switches		PLC DIGITAL INPUT CARDS what is inside of them how do they work what do they do for you
HARD WIRING SWITCHES - N.O. vs N.C. big safety issue normally open vs. normally closed when do you use one over the other		DC INPUT CARDS what is inside of them how do they work what do they do for you
LOGICAL "AND" CIRCUIT what is an "AND" how to wire it what logical does it perform		MECHANICAL vs. SOLID STATE SWITCH what is the difference what is bounce how does the input card handle bounce
LOGICAL "OR" CIRCUIT what is an "OR" how to wire it what logical does it perform		PLC DIGITAL OUTPUT CARDS what is inside of them how do they work what do they do for you
COMBO "AND" & "OR" CIRCUIT what is an combo "AND" & "OR" how to wire it what logical does it perform		3 BASIC FUNDAMENTALS OF PLC'S understanding the "BLACK BOX" 3 "must" know items about PLC's Basic principals on how they work Items you must know to be successful
RELAYS - CONTACTORS & OVERLOADS what is a relay what is a contactor how do they work what sizes do they come in		SCAN TIME what is it how does it work what you need to know about it
GENERAL SENSOR INFO & SENSOR OUTPUTS what is a sensor how many types of sensors are there what is the final output of the sensor & how does it work		WHICH PLC MODEL DO YOU NEED what determines which model to buy how many I\O do you need do you need floating point math
