IC-110 Capstone Project I
Course Outcome Summary
Course Information
Description
This course is designed to apply the theory of motor controls to a scaled down
version of a car wash. The capstone project involves designing and writing a ladder
logic program that will follow a sequence of operation for the project. Once the
program is written the mechanical components (sensors, timers, control relays,
etc) will need to be wired to preform to the specified sequence of operation. To follow
industry standards the program documentation will need to have good labeling and
numerical cross-referencing.
