IDC Training - Programmable Logic Controllers for Automation and Process Control


This workshop is designed to benefit you with practical up-to-date information on the application of PLCs to the automation and process control of plants and factories. It is suitable for people who have little or no exposure to PLCs, but expect to become involved in some or all aspects of PLC installation. It aims to give practical advice from experts in the field, to assist you to correctly plan, program and install a PLC with a shorter learning curve and more confidence.

While the workshop is ideal for electricians, technicians and engineers who are new to PLCs, much of the workshop and additional material in the extensive manual will be of value to those who already have some basic skills, but need a wider perspective for larger and more challenging tasks ahead.

The information contained in this workshop advances from the basics to challenge even the most experienced engineer in the industry today.

Practical Sessions
You will undertake a series of practical hands-on sessions, ranging from elementary to advanced, based on the PLCs supplied.

Full working solutions will be distributed to you after you have attempted the practicals.

The practicals are:
  • Write simple ladderlogic programs
  • Creation and use of a single scan ‘pulse’
  • Developing a simple program with valve limit switch monitoring, pushbutton steps around a loop, simple timers, and sequential startup
  • Multiple recipe batch selection
  • PID control loop

    The emphasis on the practicals is so as to be as useful as possible to you in your work.
