This course will benefit personnel who will be programming, commissioning, and supporting equipment and systems that utilize the advanced features that the productivity line supports.
You should already have taken the Productivity PLC Series Certificate Course or have real world experience before taking this course.
What are the Benefits?
- Offers exposure to new technologies and how to utilize them in your systems
- Provides real world programming situations that students must solve
- In depth look at the productivity features and capabilities
What to Expect:
Plenty of Hands-ON! There is NO BETTER WAY to learn PLC programming than to dig in and start programming! From DAY ONE you will be learning how to configure, specify, program and troubleshoot a REAL PLC control system! Each work station has an actual PLC complete with functional Inputs and Outputs. The instructor, Doug Bell, draws on his diverse background to make the programming examples reflect REAL-WORLD situations in such a manner that WILL keep you interested throughout the entire course.
