Contact usThis is an advanced course in PLC programming focusing on signal processing, basic control theory, communication, and troubleshooting in industrial control systems. The course builds upon the knowledge from PLC I and provides participants with a deeper understanding of how PLCs are utilized in modern and complex automation installations.
Participants will learn to work with analog signals, data acquisition, logging, and communication between different systems. A large portion of the course is hands-on and conducted using the programming tools CODESYS and Siemens TIA Portal. Practical exercises are performed on industrial models featuring PLCs from Siemens and WAGO.
