PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLERS HARDWARE & PROGRAMMING A 5-Day Intensive Hands-On PLC Training Workshop / Seminar

Course Objective and Description: The objective of this PLC training course is to take the student from a beginner to a medium level PLC programmer, designer, and troubleshooter. Each student will assemble a modular PLC, connect input and output devices and write PLC ladder logic programs to control their PLC system. Students will learn PLC ladder logic programming as they progress at their own pace through exercises of increasing complexity. They and will gain a working knowledge of digital and analog inputs and outputs, timers, and counters. Analog signals with scaling concepts will be introduced. Upon completion of the seminar the student is expected to be able design, specify, and install medium level PLC systems, and to troubleshoot and diagnose problems in input and output control loops. While students will train using the Automation Direct DL205 PLC the course is intentionally designed to be generic to brand. This is not a sales seminar. We do not represent any brand, make, or manufacturer. Class size is small by design and is limited to 8 students.

PLC Logic Control Analog Control Signals PLC Ladder Logic Drawings & Circuit Analysis PLC Theory of Operation Digital Inputs and Outputs Analog inputs and Outputs Including 0-10VDC and 4-20 Milliamp Control Basic PLC Programming Techniques Troubleshooting PLC Inputs & Outputs Prerequisites: Students should have experience using digital multimeters. A working knowledge PCs in a Microsoft Windows® environment is required. Knowledge of basic electrical circuitry is helpful. We highly recommend that students planning on enrolling in the PLC seminar first attend our Electrical Fundamentals and our Basic Industrial Electronics seminars. Who Should Attend: Plant and Facility Maintenance Personnel, Maintenance Supervisors, Plant Engineers, Designers, Electricians, Instrumentation Technicians, I&E Personnel, and I&E Supervisors

Equipment Requirements: Students will need to bring safety glasses and should bring a digital multimeter if possible. Small tools will be provided for use during the seminar. Digital multimeters will be available as loaners for students who do not bring their own. Laptop PCs are furnished for student use during the seminar for PLC programming. Students may bring their own laptop if they desire. Programming software will be loaded onto the computers at the beginning of class and removed from the computers at the end of the last day in order to maintain our software licensing agreement with the manufacturer.
