Introduction to Microprocessor
Prepares students for advanced work in microprocessor technology.
Geared to electricians, maintenance personnel, technicians, engineers, managers, and others who work with microprocessors and programmable industrial controllers, the Introduction to Microprocessor program emphasizes operations, maintenance, and troubleshooting. Trainees entering this program should have knowledge of practical mathematics, electricity, and electronics.
The Introduction to Microprocessor training program combines a conceptual understanding of industrial control, electronic instrumentation equipment, and how microprocessors function within programmable controllers with hands-on experimentation using the Microprocessor Trainer.
Upon completion of Introduction to Microprocessor Program, students should be able to:
- Convert back and forth among decimal, binary, octal, and hexadecimal number systems
- Write, enter, and run basic microprocessor programs.
- Use a dual-trace oscilloscope, DMM, logic probe, and logic pulser to troubleshoot hardware faults.
- Measure AC and DC system voltages.
- Use breakpoints and single-step operation to debug programs.
- Describe the functions of microprocessor chips and support architecture.
- Troubleshoot software and hardware faults using diagnostics.
- Understand the operations of motor controllers, numerical control systems, programmable controllers, and industrial robots.
- Discuss the principles of electronic servomechanism equipment and systems.
- Identify applications for numerical control systems: milling, drilling, and boring.
