Time: 8:30 am - 4 pm
Location: Logan Campus, Room 1919
Phone: 435-750-3275
Email: mfuller@btech.edu
Description: This course covers the basic tasks and procedures required for an operator, technician, engineer or programmer to set up, teach, test, and modify iRVision applications. Upon successful completion of this two-day course, the student can identify the components of a vision system, install vision hardware, develop an application, program the robot, perform error recovery procedures and follow recommended safety practices. Prerequisite: FANUC Basic Programming
PLC Programming 1 (June 2)
Date: June 2 - June 5, 2025
Time: 8:30 am - 4 pm
Location: Logan Campus, West 1905
Phone: 435-750-3275
Email: mfuller@btech.edu
Description: This course will introduce the Studio 5000 Logix Designer (previously known as RSLogix 5000) and the CompactLogixPLC. The student will be required to connect inputs and outputs, configure and program the PLC, and troubleshoot various systems. Training will be executed on PLC kits that include PLC’s, Point I/O, a PowerFlex variable frequency drive and general input/output circuits. Primary topics will include configuration, ladder logic concepts, code scan, organization including subroutine, PLC tags, addressing, and functions such as timers, counters and comparators. Students will need to understand basic electrical circuits and familiarity with Windows 10 to participate in the course successfully.
FANUC Advanced Programming (June 23)
Date: June 23 - June 27, 2025
Time: 8:30 am - 4 pm
Location: Logan Campus, Room 1919
Phone: 435-750-3275
Email: mfuller@btech.edu
Description: Fanuc Advanced Programming is the next step after the Fanuc Basic Programming class. Topics from the previous classes will be used in this class to develop a more complex real world scenario. Students will start by setting up a robot from its original default condition and will then be given a hypothetical example work cell. They will be given the task of creating all the necessary programs to deal with multifaceted issues using advanced programming techniques. Primary new topics during this five-day course include robot setup, PLC communication, robot mastering, ethernet communication, payload, tool offsets, reference positions, multitasking, error recovery, and much more. Class size is limited to 12 so everyone can perform the hands-on lab exercises. Prerequisite: FANUC Basic Programming
Automation Electrical Troubleshooting (July 30)
Date: July 30, 2025
Time: 8:30 am - 4 pm
Location: Logan Campus, Room 1905
Phone: 435-750-3275
Email: mfuller@btech.edu
Description:
This course will help students to solidify the basics of electricity and common electrical faults. Students will review the concepts of Voltage, Resistance, and Current using simulated and real-life circuits. They will review the equations of Ohms Law and show how the three parts relate. They will also learn about how common faults affect a circuit including loss of voltage, bad neutral pathways, broken components, and shorts to ground. They will learn the method for diagnosing these faults using the Bridgerland Troubleshooting Methodology in both real and simulated circuits. Students will receive a Bridgerland Troubleshooting Methodology booklet and a 4-month license of Simutech troubleshooting software.
