Programme Aims:
PLC and Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) systems are widely deployed and utilized across various industries to enhance automation, control, and monitoring of systems & processes. PLCs are responsible for managing and controlling systems & processes via the use of sensors, and actuators to perform tasks and control systems.
HMIs furnish operators with real-time data, system diagnostics, and control functions through user-friendly graphical interfaces. Together, PLCs and HMIs enable industries such as manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and chemicals to improve operational efficiency, ensure safety, and enhance production processes.
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 HMI design and layout to optimize interfaces to allow effective monitoring & control of systems
- Essential elements of communication with PLCs and HMIs via TIA (Totally Integrated Automation) using PROFINET.
- Ladder logic-based programming and HMI setup and interfacing encompassing PLC & HMI integration, data communication, control & monitoring, system optimization
- 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
