Rockwell Automation donates $13k in equipment for electrical engineering courses
March 23, 2018
Rockwell Automation recently donated $13,400 in Allen-Bradley
equipment, which allows the School of Engineering to add 22
Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) stations to the EGR226
Introduction to Digital Systems course. The new equipment will allow
all engineering students to have PLC hands-on experience prior to
entering their Co-op rotations, directly benefitting both students and
industry sponsors.
The Rockwell Automation donation included all the components
necessary to build the 22 lab stations. The parts included Micro 810
PLCs, LCD displays, power supplies, terminals, fuse blocks, DIN rail,
and LED backlit pushbuttons. The assembly work will be done by GVSU
graduate students.
