Description/Agenda
3 day Hands-on
2.4 Continuing Education Credits
This course is a subcomponent of:
Fundamentals of Programmable Logic Controllers with PLC Automation Systems
Learn how operator interfaces (OIs, or human machine
interfaces–HMIs) integrate with a PLC to access information about
the machine. You will discover that the HMI is a well designed
real-time troubleshooting tool when properly programmed. You’ll
spend time in hands-on lab exercises programming the PLC and
diagnosing problems. Leave with valuable skills for effective
repairs, troubleshooting and maintenance.
This course is a three-day segment within the broader five-day
course Fundamentals of Programmable Logic Controllers with PLC
Automation Systems. We suggest the five-day course for the most
comprehensive training.
