Course overview
Modern industrial control systems contain multiple electronic circuits that allow them to monitor and control a variety of systems. Electronic circuits share some similarities with other electrical devices, but the specific components in them operate under different principles and sometimes require different techniques to troubleshoot and repair. The Introduction to Industrial Electronics training course describes the construction and operation of basic electronic components. It also explains common troubleshooting techniques used.
This online course focuses on semiconductor materials, bias voltage, electronic components, and electronics troubleshooting. Introduction to Industrial Electronics is part of the Electronics Fundamentals series.
