Abstract: This training module on electromechanical components contains 10 units for a two-year vocational program packaging system equipment control course at Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College. This module describes the functions of electromechanical devices essential for understanding input/output devices for Programmable Logic Control (PLC) applications through classroom lecture and laboratory settings. Objectives, outline, teaching methodology, and evaluation are discussed in the module overview. Each unit in the module outline is detailed with resource requirement, unit objective, content summary, and tools of evaluation sections. The following 10 units make up the module: (1) introduction to electrical control of circuits; (2) fuses and circuit breakers; (3) control transformers; (4) switches; (5) circuit application of switches using actuators; (6) relays and solenoids; (7) timers; (8) Packaging Machinery Manufacturer's Institute controls; (9) photoelectric sensing units; and (10) motors.
