COURSE OVERVIEW

 This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators.  

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) Operations, Maintenance and Troubleshooting (Siemens). It covers the PLC fundamentals and applications, Siemens PLC system, hardware components and configuration; the wiring and field connections, PLC input/output modules and programming languages; the ladder logic programming with TIA portal, function blocks and structured programming; the data types and memory allocation; and the analog signal processing, human-machine interface (HMI) fundamentals and creating HMI screens in TIA portal. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the communication protocols and networking, SCADA integration basics and simulation and diagnostics; the PLC maintenance best practices, diagnostics and fault identification; the common PLC hardware failures, program backup and recovery and control panel inspection and testing; the structured approach to diagnostics, intermittent fault handling, loop checking strategies and root cause analysis techniques; the PLC and field device troubleshooting, program debugging and monitoring; and the advanced troubleshooting scenarios and safety and risk management.
