PLC Programming Training – RASPBERRY PI

Modern PLC-based control and automation systems often have improvements and modifications made, resulting in changes needing to be made to the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) program. This course provides the skills necessary to understand how typical modern industrial PLC programs work, how to make changes to existing programs and how to create small programs from scratch.

The rise of new digital industrial technology, known as Industry 4.0, is a transformation that makes it possible to gather and analyze data across machines, enabling faster, more flexible, and more efficient processes to produce higher-quality goods at reduced costs.

What is Industry 4.0?
Industry 4.0 (also known as the “smart factory”) is the merging of real production using the virtual world – a global by which it is fully integrated into production processes. Systems in mechanical engineering, logistics and services all talk to each other inside a new, intelligent way. The “internet of things has truly introduced a revolution towards the entire industrial sector – Production cycles are shortened, customer needs are incorporated instantly, maintenance is basically transported out instantly, orders are instantly completed the best order …all these result in the “Smart factory”.

PLC Programming Course Summary

The course is presented using a wide range of industrial PLCs so that candidates learn how different manufacturers employ the programming languages involved. Allen Bradley, Siemens, Mitsubishi and Omron PLCs are used to control a complex training rig incorporating conveyors, solenoids, motors and industrial sensors as a ‘target’ system to gain the necessary programming skills. Comprehensive course notes are provided.
