PLC Programming and Servicing for Fluid Power Systems

Who Should Attend?

This 27-hour seminar is designed for maintenance and engineering services personnel who have to identify and solve problems with PLC processors, commission machine changes and start PLC programmers focused on fluid power applications. The class will be PLC platform independent and will use a selection of PLC technology across the Allen-Bradley (Rockwell Automation) and Siemens platforms during hands-on exercises.

Objective

Learning the techniques required to design and maintain a technical PLC-based control system focused on fluid power technology. The components required (such as sensors, actuators, PLCs and conventional components) and their application and functions are discussed to gain an understanding of how to automatically control a process. All tasks of software construction will be addressed with handson exercises and use of sample applications.
