PLCs for Non Programmers Training Seminar
Purpose of Seminar:
This seminar converts the seemingly complex world of PLCs into practical lessons the average maintenance person can understand. We've taken information from thousands of pages of manufacturers' technical manuals, combined it with twenty years of experience and a practical real world philosophy to give you simple, clear, and concise solutions to your everyday PLC problems.
This course is perfect for multi-craft maintenance technicians, electricians, or other non-programmers who need a general understanding of PLCs. And because we know time is money, this seminar is designed to have immediate impact so that you can start saving maintenance dollars on costly repairs and service calls today! We approach students as if they were our own employees. We give them "real world" practical knowledge, and students attending this course are expected to go back to their workplace and immediately apply what they have learned. Now that's "Real World" training.
Course Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, students will receive a training certificate with 1.4 American Trainco Continuing Education Units indicating that the student has learned to:
Identify PLC components
Read and interpret Ladder Logic
Understand function and purpose of basic programming instructions
Configure a PLC-based control system
Relate actual PLC instructions to "real world" applications
Troubleshoot and correct PLC problems by identifying and isolating most common system faults
What you will learn:
Studies have indicated that 80% of the faults associated with a PLC-based control system involve either I/O (Input/Output) devices or field wiring. During this seminar you will learn how to use both hardware and software to find these faults quickly. Students will learn how to use a systematic approach to troubleshooting; how to set up and configure Input/Output modules using various slot addressing techniques; what to understand about program and data table file organization, number systems and processor information flow; and how basic, relay type instructions, timers, and counters, and data manipulation instructions can be used to achieve the PLC solution you want.
The other 20% of faults can also be quickly found using software tools that usually remain hidden to all but the most experienced troubleshooting professional. But, in this American Trainco seminar, we will unlock these tools, dispel the myths, and provide you aids that you can take back to your workplace for easy future reference. At American Trainco, we provide real world training for your real world needs!
Who should take this course:
This course is created specifically for maintenance personnel and electricians working in industrial plants, public facilities, and commercial buildings. Attendees come from a wide variety of industries, skill-levels, company sizes, and job titles, so if you're not sure you'll fit in or benefit from this class, don't worry - you will! - as long as you have an interest in learning to troubleshoot and repair your PLCs.
Those attending this seminar will learn to:
- Speak the PLC language
- Read and interpret PLC ladder logic
- Troubleshoot PLC systems and components
- Relate PLC programming to "real world" applications
- Fix PLC problems on their own???.before calling an outside service contractor!
