Advanced PLC (Programmable Logic Controllers)

This course will take delegates familiar with Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC’s) and expand on their knowledge to prepare them to an advanced level. Working with the latest Siemens S7 equipment in our new Automation facility, delegates will get a hands-on experience of programming PLC’s in various real-life scenario’s.

 

This course is an ideal progression for delegates that have completed the Introduction to PLC course, or previously completed an engineering apprenticeship.
