Programme Aims:
Reducing production errors to a minimum is the single most effective way to optimize production. Production errors are minimized by implementing different control strategies within the automation systems within the production facility. Optimized control systems minimize production downtime and consequently minimize rework and waste. Control systems are implemented across all industrial sectors and across all technology platforms controlling production systems.
Understanding, implementing and optimizing the various controller parameters within the different control strategies are skills required in a production environment to minimize the production errors. This course will outline the steps in implementing and optimizing the controller parameters for discontinuous control strategies such as Bang Bang control and continuous PID control strategy in all its combinations. Understanding how control systems respond to change (both intentional and unintentional) and the effects of changing controller parameters will be demonstrated and form the basis of this course.
The course is 10% theory and 90% interactive using practical based exercises and is delivered over 2 days.
Areas covered include:
- Principle of operation of PLCs
- Fundamentals of the control parameters within the different control system strategies
- Essential elements of communication with PLCs via TIA (Totally Integrated Automation)
- Ladder logic-based programming to implement Bang Bang Control & PID Control
- Data types & tagging philosophies
- Fault finding and resetting systems
The software platform is Siemens TIA using Siemens 1500 PLCs with integrated HMIs. The course provides a hands-on approach to the utilization of PLCs using tailored practical exercises based on real-life industry scenarios. These real-life scenarios can be tailored to mimic the learner’s area of employment.
Resources:
Digital material content will be provided to each learner prior to commencing the on-site hands on practically based course. Consuming this content is an optional choice for the learner but should be considered as self-directed learning. Consumption of this digital material prior to attending the course will enable learners to gain knowledge and understanding of the topics covered, terminology within this industry and allow more focus on the practical skill sets required to master the topic covered.
Duration: 2 days
Certification: ESS Certificate of Completion
