PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLERS (PLC's) - LAND BASED SYSTEMS 5 Days Location: SRTCC Contact: SRTCC Staff, Dannie Smith, 985-543-1225 or 504-728-1225 Course Overview: This workshop provides training for those whose electrical experience and job assignment warrants attendance. The course covers PLC technology, descriptions of PLC basic equipment, digital numbering systems, terminology, PLC functions, and operating principles. The course also provides description of the most commonly used PLC types of equipment in industrial applications, production facilities, gas plant operations, and pipelines. Application information for various input and output field devices is also given. Practical hands-on lab exercises are given in the course that represents over 50% of the total course time. These lab exercises include the operation of hand-held programming terminals as well as personal computers. Designed For: This course is recommended for those who have attended the Basic Electrical course, or equivalent and who desire to gain an understanding of programmable logic controllers (PLC’s). Prerequisites: Basic Electrical Course or equivalent. Objectives: Upon completion of this course, the student should be able to: • • • • Understand basic PLC terminology. Understand logic principles and digital languages. Understand and apply the concepts of PLC functions and ladder logic. Identify characteristics of different types of PLC’s and programming devices.
