Training aims
- Benefits of the PLC compared to conventional solutions such as electrical, electropneumatic or electrohydraulic solutions
- Functions of system components of a PLC
- Commissioning a PLC
- Application criteria for mechanical, optical, capacitive and inductive proximity switches
- Sequence control and parallel logic
- Systematic programming of a PLC in accordance with international standard IEC 1131-3
- IEC 1131-3 programming languages: Function Block Diagram, Ladder Diagram, Statement List, Structured Text and Sequence Language
To complete the exercises in this training package, you need a controller with 24 V DC input and output signals. The actuators and sensors can be connected via 4 mm safety plugs.
