Classes in the Electrical and Automation series are taught from a maintenance and troubleshooting perspective and are targeted towards mechanics, technicians, engineers, and maintenance personnel who work in the areas of industrial maintenance.
50% of class time is hands-on using custom built training consoles, which helps students develop and retain practical application skills. Classes can be taught at SCC facilities or on site and we can customize our content to meet your specific needs.
Our rotating course offerings include:

This three-day seminar covers electrical fundamentals from a troubleshooting perspective. Learn what to expect in operational series, parallel and combination circuits through measuring voltage, resistance and current flow with digital multimeters. Topics include electrical terminology, Ohm’s Law, schematic reading, components, wiring, and safe work practices.
Prerequisite: Electrical Fundamentals (ELEC‑6075) or equivalent
Three-phase motors, motor starters, wiring, relays, timers, schematics, wiring diagrams, industrial symbology, relay logic, and timer circuits will be covered using discussion and hands-on training equipment.
Prerequisite: Electrical Fundamentals (ELEC‑6075) and Motor Controls & Relay Logic (ELEC‑6076) or equivalent
Use training equipment with industry-standard devices to improve electrical troubleshooting skills. Includes proven tips and techniques for experts and beginners.

Users of PLC-based systems will benefit from this opportunity to receive training on background theory, application information, programming practices, and specifics for the Automation Direct Click series. Engineers, maintenance technicians, electricians, sales personnel, or anyone working on home automation projects should register now.
Students will be able to:
- Describe basic logic functions and relay logic as implemented on a PLC
- Explain the operations and distinctions of One shots, Timers and Counters
- Understand the techniques of Latching and Interlocking logic
- Enter and troubleshoot a PLC program using Click software
Topics include:
- Digital Inputs and Outputs
- Hands-on data handling exercises
- Designing ladder logic programs
- PLC system troubleshooting
- Typical industrial control projects
- Use of transitional or edge triggered contacts
Course Offerings
Prerequisite: Knowledge of industrial machine controls
This class will provide general background theory, applications information and programming practice for mechanics, technicians and engineers who specify or maintain PLC-based systems.
Course Offerings
Prerequisite: Basic Allen-Bradley PLCs (ELEC-6078) or equivalent
In this training, participants will receive an introduction to the “Logix” family of Allen-Bradley Controllers. Topics include an overview of Logix family hardware, an introduction to the RS5000 software, basic ladder logic programming, time, counter, math, compare, tags, organizing projects, uploading/downloading, online editing, and more.
Course Offerings
Prerequisite: Recommended prerequisite: Basic RS5000/Logix Programming (ELEC-6080)
This is an extension of the Basic RS5000 class, the advanced class will help you understand how good PLC program flow and structure can be accomplished and data organization and manipulation techniques, and develop a program to select blocks of data from an HMI for use in recipes, etc. Topics include use of more involved instructions such as subroutines, shift registers, arrays, FIFO’s, indirect addressing, and sequencers.
Course Offerings
This course is designed to increase skill levels for engineers, technicians, sales representatives, and anyone involved with manufacturing, process controls, energy generation or automation. Training includes lecture and hands-on usage of actual devices such as photo-electric, inductive, capacitive, and temperature sensors. Interface to PLCs and control techniques will be covered using simulation trainer consoles. Such sensors are keys to green building automation.
Course Offerings
Participants with industrial experience learn the principles of basic pneumatic and electro-pneumatic circuits using a computer layout and simulation program. After any problems with the simulated pneumatic circuits have been diagnosed and fixed, then circuits are constructed and operated on the trainer board using actual valves, cylinders and compressed air.
Course Offerings
This course gives maintenance technicians, specifiers and supervisors insights to basic theory, installation considerations, control wiring, and programming of parameters to utilize VFDs in industrial and commercial applications. This is an excellent opportunity for individuals to apply theory to hands-on lab projects that reflect problems that may be encountered in one’s daily work.
Course Offerings
This class is for apprentice electricians looking for an accelerated journeyman exam prep class.
