Upon completion, participants will have knowledge of:

• PLC programming and program documentation

• Using PLC programming software

• Troubleshooting PLC-controlled systems

• Performing Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT)

• Performing Site/System Acceptance Testing (SAT)

Target Group

This course is designed for professionals who work with PLC systems and industrial automation.

Duration

1 day

PLC – Profibus and OPC/SCADA

Purpose and Course Content:

The PLC, Profibus and OPC/SCADA Technology course qualifies participants to safely handle fieldbus networks and use data exchange in OPC/SCADA systems.

During the course, participants gain knowledge of maintenance, troubleshooting, data exchange, and the configuration of interfaces (HMI and SCADA).

Upon completion of the course, participants will have a solid understanding of the configuration and operation of PLCs in networked environments. Participants will also gain an understanding of the fundamental principles and configuration of fieldbus systems and operator panels and will be able to make program modifications and perform troubleshooting in industrial automation solutions with distributed I/O.

The PLC, Profibus and OPC/SCADA course is intended for service personnel involved in the operation, maintenance, troubleshooting, or running of PLC-controlled equipment.

Entry Requirements/Target Group:

Participants should have completed the PLC in Machine Control course or otherwise acquired equivalent competencies.

Duration:

3 days.

SRO Systems
