Why You should take this training program
Participants learn how the PLC is integrated with operator interfaces (OIs), human machine interfaces (HMIs), and network I/O systems.
More than 60% of class time is hands-on programming, uploading and downloading exercises to and from the PLC. The program thoroughly examines PLC architecture, including input and output systems, ladder logic vs. relay logic, relay instructions, the role of timer delays, number systems, and the sizing and selection of PLCs. Troubleshooting elements cover installation precautions, wiring requirements, debugging and diagnostic tools.
