Software and hardware used
CPU S7-1500
They are available in the classic and et200sp housing. The SIMATIC S7-1500 is a modular automation system with medium and higher performance. Different controller versions allow you to match the corresponding application. Depending on requirements, the programmable controller can be expanded with input/output modules for digital and analogue signals, as well as technology and communication modules.
TIA Portal software
Totally integrated automation is a development environment that combines PLC (programming), HMI(visualisation) and startdrive(drive technology).
Factory IO
Typical machine scenarios can be run in Factory IO, and the virtual factory connects to the SIM PLC simulator (or the actual PLC. Programming of the controller is possible in the programming environment (depending on the PLC family), and insight into its operation is available during the online connection
What will you be able to do after completing the course?
The skills you gain from the course will prove useful in a wide variety of professions. Those listed below are just a few of the areas in which you can find employment as a graduate:
Process automation officer
As a PLC programming specialist, you will easily find yourself in the field of industrial automation design and implementation.
Sales Engineer
By helping the customer to configure the technical parameters of the PLCs, you will advise and find the best solutions for them, making sure they leave the showroom satisfied.
PLC programmer
In our course, you will learn about the relationships between the different modules, so that you can easily configure each module in the control cabinet, whether it is a PLC, a flow meter or an inverter.
Product manager
In a profession where an understanding of the links between product groups translates into the number of orders processed, as someone who knows the basics of programming you will be able to generate excellent sales results.
The current education system focuses solely on dry discussion of theoretical issues, while offering no opportunity to understand them through practical examples. Yet it is the latter that employers value most. The aim of our training is to offer ready-made solutions that will help the trainee to do better in the job market - programming experience is not required!
Guarantee
