Introduction
This practical on-line workshop has been designed as a high impact, short duration PLC programming workshop. It is there for individuals who either with to brush up on or else learn PLC programming techniques from scratch. The workshop is mostly practical in nature, although theoretical aspects will be covered as and when necessary.
Many PLC programming languages have evolved over the years, but five have been covered in the IEC 61131-3 standard. This workshop delves into each of the languages, using practical examples to see how the language can fit in, in the real world.
The workshop is synchronous, fully interactive, and questions will be answered, as they get asked.
This GLOMACS online training course will feature:
- Understanding where the PLC fits in, in the modern industry
- Interpreting real-world problems, and how to come up with a programming solution
- Program composition
- Program creation
- Program testing and documentation
Objectives
By the end of this online training course, participants will be able to:
- Understand where the PLC fits in to the greater scheme of things
- Program, using Ladder Diagram (LD)
- Program, using Function Block Diagram (FBD)
- Program, using Instruction List (IL)
- Program, using Structured Text (ST)
- Program using Sequential Function Chart (SFC)
Training Methodology
This online training course will utilize a variety of proven online learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension, retention of the information presented. The training course is conducted Online via an Advanced Virtual Learning Platform in the comfort of any location of your choice.
