News Release – January 19, 2006
Our Programmable Logic Controller program has been very successful in helping our students reduce their plant’s down time associated with the various I/O components used in complex machinery and production line settings.
This has paved the way for the new “hands-on” program on Variable Frequency Drives. In this class, the student can expect to learn the basics of the VFDs, terminology, programming and basic troubleshooting of the common failure components.
AC and DC types of drive units along with inverter types of drives are covered. Upon completion, the student will be able to identify the sections of a drive unit, have a basic understanding of where to start the troubleshooting process, wiring and the commissioning of these units. Class size is limited to ten students. We have also had several requests for advanced computer classes. We plan to schedule FrontPage I and II and Excel Macros classes in the near future. FrontPage is a Web design class where you will create, modify and format websites plus much more. Excel Macros introduces you to personal and workbook macros. A macro is a single computer instruction that initiates a series of additional instructions for a computer to perform. We are also planning a basic keyboarding class to be held in Bryan. If you would like additional information on the above classes or any of Four County Career Center Adult Workforce Education offerings, please contact us at 800/589-3334 ext. 2703
