Programmable Logic Controllers: PLC Seminar

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

Course Objective and Description:

The objective of this course is to provide the student with a thorough introduction to PLC hardware and programming concepts. Each student will assemble a modular PLC, connect an operators' control station as inputs and a motor contactor and indicator pilot lamp light as digital outputs. Students will progress at their own pace as they use a laptop PC to program the PLC for actual operation. Analog signals with scaling concepts will be introduced. Upon completion of the seminar the student is expected to be able to troubleshoot and diagnose problems in input and output digital control loops. This course is not a sales course and is generic in nature with regards to PLC brand. Students leaving this course can attend, with confidence, various manufacturers' PLC programming schools. This seminar is 90% hands-on and enrollment is limited to 8 students.

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, 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.
