Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) Applications

Students will learn the architecture and working principles of a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). Training sets comprises the PLC CPU, I/O modules, interface modules and I/O devices. To better link to industrial application, the PLC programming software is in line with industrial standard IEC 61131-3 languages. Typical PLC applications are created using the PLC and related facilities (remote I/O, motor drive, communication module) as well as touch panels as Human Machine Interface (HMI)
