Fundamentals of Programmable Logic Controllers with PLC Automation Systems

Learn the fundamentals of PLC architecture and the latest tools for programming and troubleshooting. Gain knowledge about how the PLC is integrated with operator interfaces (OIs), human machine interfaces (HMIs), and network I/O systems. You’ll spend over 50% of the time in hands-on lab exercises programming the PLC, HMI and communication networks. You’ll leave with valuable skills for effective repairs, troubleshooting and maintenance.

This course is a two-day segment within the broader five-day course Fundamentals of Programmable Logic Controllers with PLC Automation Systems. We suggest the five-day course for the most comprehensive training.
