Course description
PLC Programming Workshop: From Introduction to Application - On-site Training
This two-day “Hands-On” PLC Programming & Applications course provides a greater depth of PLC knowledge for those who have already taken TPC Training’s introductory course, “PLCs for Non-Programmers,” or have some background and experience working with PLCs. It is designed to help maintenance technicians, electricians and others modify and write common PLC programs on their own. It will provide students the comfort and confidence they need to edit or create new PLC solutions for their specific work applications. It will make vendor-specific PLC programming manuals understandable. Students’ specific needs and concerns are also addressed during the class, so that they can go back to their workplace and immediately apply what they’ve learned.e most common PLC problems on their own.

Course delivery details
Available in both virtual and in-person, instructor-led formats, this PLC Programming Workshop: From Introduction to Application combines our introductory PLC course with our programming and applications course to provide the student a complete PLC education from a basic introduction on how PLCs work to providing them the knowledge, confidence and ability to modify or create their own PLC programs.
The training in this class is practical and geared to cover most of the PLC situations students will run across in the field. The training presented is not manufacturer specific but uses LogixPro 500 simulators so that students can explore the variety of PLC software platforms that they will encounter in their jobs.
Costs
This 4 day workshop is $2,390.
