Plc automation training

SofTech Automation

Course Title: PLC Operation, Set-up, Programming and Troubleshooting 1

Overview
This “learn-by-doing’’ training focuses extensively on Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) operation, wiring, programming and troubleshooting.
Lab exercises cover heavy hands-on practice on field devices, input/output modules, wiring, and processor programming leading to in-depth knowledge of troubleshooting and maintenance of automated machines. All lab exercises are implemented and simulated with the aid of live field devices and a PLC trainer. The exercises are applicable to motor control, process control, level control, safety interlocking etc. as used in the industry.
Our course materials are presented with a good balance of theory lecture and hands-on practice.

Objective
At the end of the training, students will be able to
Understand PLC control principles and applications
Identify and describe the functions of PLC components
Connect and wire PLCs to field devices
Write PLC ladder logic programs
Interpret ladder logic for the purpose of troubleshooting
Troubleshoot and correct PLC problems by identifying and isolating most common system faults
Solve real-life exercises and simulate control

Who needs this training?
Holders of B.Sc. HND, ND, C&G, NABTEB etc. in Electrical/Electronic/Mechanical/Industrial/Production Engineering, Physics and other related courses, desirous of securing a good job
Working professionals: Operators, Technicians, Engineers etc. looking to improve their skills
