Description
In a modern industrial plant thousands of components work together to make a product. It is still inevitable that at some point one of those thousands of components will fail. A component failure will result in an equipment shutdown or a faulty product. At this time, workers with troubleshooting experience become invaluable. A number of different skills are required to troubleshoot a machine or a piece of equipment effectively. In this study unit, you will learn about some of the more abstract troubleshooting procedures. These procedures will require the troubleshooter to collect information and focus on the failed component, not just connect a meter to make measurements. Also, we will cover the more complex solid state controllers used to control a motor's position and speed.
