This course offers instruction on the hardware and software of the controller equipment. The course material and exercises provide training on the software tools that are used to troubleshoot alarms, edit the sequencing, configure the Inputs and outputs (both hardwired and networked), and calibrate Servo-Actuated Valve LVDT's and other devices. Additional class work includes information on the Cimplicity operator interface (HMI). Lectures and hands-on exercises develop a thorough understanding of ToolboxST and other software tools.

Effective March 1, 2011, the GE Energy Learning Center will become a tobacco-free campus and smoking will be prohibited in all areas of the property, including outdoor space owned by GE. This means that all employees, as well as customers, contractors and visitors will be prohibited from using tobacco products anywhere on our campuses, including in motor vehicles. If an individual wishes to use tobacco products he/she needs to leave the campus in order to smoke or to use smokeless tobacco. Leaving campus is only acceptable during regularly scheduled lunch breaks. Leaving the property during shorter class breaks will not provide adequate time to return to class.
