Siemens S5 First Line Maintenance
Manufacturers are increasingly facing greater pressures to reduce costs, maintain efficiency whilst also maximising output. These problems are further challenged when it comes to arranging shift patterns to release essential production line staff for training.
This problem can now be eased, as we can now offer you three day courses rather than our more traditional five day courses on Siemens S5. Our new three day course enables you to maintain your efficiency levels with the minimum of disruption, whilst also providing focused learning.
The Siemens S5 PLC First-line Maintenance course equips maintenance personnel with the essential knowledge and skills to identify and maintain Siemens S5 PLCs and component parts, to be able to connect a PC/PG to access and monitor the live program and to be able to perform basic maintenance duties including the backup & restore of programs.
Target group
All engineering personnel involved with maintenance of automated systems controlled by Siemens S5. This course is also a prerequisite for any other Siemens S5-and Siemens S7-300/400 courses.
