This comprehensive interactive multimedia training program consists of three individual lessons that train participants to understand programmable controller system operations; interpret power flow through ladder logic; and principles of operation, characteristics, and capabilities of analog control using programmable logic controllers.
Audience: This program is excellent for the training of electricians and instrument technicians as well as for the multi-craft training needs of process and manufacturing facilities.
Individual Courses are $49 / Discount applied when purchasing complete Learning Plan.
Included Courses
This lesson covers the basics of programmable controller systems. It describes what a programmable controller is, its hardware and software components, and how it functions in an industrial environment.
This lesson teaches how to interpret programmable controller ladder logic. The lesson defines the program elements of ladder logic and the functions that they perform. This includes contacts, coils, and data functions as well as many of the common ladder logic arrangements.
This lesson teaches the difference between discrete and analog control and how PLC’s implement PID control modes. It shows different hardware configurations and how process data is transmitted between components on a data highway. Programming languages including ladder logic and function block statements are presented. Additionally, the lesson shows how PLCs actually work in different process applications and some routine and preventative maintenance techniques.
