Modern industrial production systems rely heavily on automated processes. A clear understanding and application of these principles is very critical for the efficient control, maintenance and repair of automation systems.

The course is designed to focus on industrial applications of PLCs, with attention to special installation considerations and application limitations when selecting or installing different control equipment.

Engineers and technicians, and anyone who need to have a practical knowledge of selection, installation, and commissioning of PLCs along with a greater understanding of industrial applications of automation and robotics will greatly benefit from this course. Topics to be covered include

• PLC History and Applications, hardware, Power Source and Input/Output Connections
• Digital and Analog Systems
• Programming Software, Communication, Internal File Structure, Bit Instructions, Timer Instruction, Counter Instructions, Comparison Instructions, Math Instructions, Data Transfer
• Power Electronics
