Duration:

This course is approximately 3 weeks in duration.

Learning Method:

  • The PDDP program is more of a self-guided learning style.

  • You are required to read the notes and materials given, complete the follow-up assignments on your own, send in your questions prior to your 1 hour webinar meeting (if required) and be involved in live discussion via the internet.

  • Once you have completed the course, you will receive a certificate of completion

Description
Majority of the industrial process applications Programmable Logic Controllers and Programmable Automation Controllers, which are the backbone of the industrial applications, automations and robotics distributed on the manufacturer floor or on a wide area e.g. oil industry.
 
This course will focus on understanding the Programmable Logic Controllers and Programmable Automation Controllers, requirements, programming and implementation. The practical approach of the course is guaranteed by having the students perform hands on work on cutting edge technology communication networks.
 
This course will:
  • Provide in depth explanation of the functionality of the most important Programmable Logic Controllers and Programmable Automation Controllers
  • Explain Control Logix; SoftLogix; Compact Logix setup and Functionality
  • Explain the Micrologix; PLC 5 –PLC Programming and Functionality
  • Provide technical hands on exercise to schedule Control Net network
  • Explain how to setup the SERCOS Network
  • Describe the best practices to achieve the desired performance, e.g. redundancy; speed; volume of information; distance
  • Demonstrate the superiority of Industrial Ethernet Network
  • Define the most important applications for different types of networks
  • Provide the Hands On Demonstration to debug a faulty Control Net Keeper
  • Provide the Hands On Demonstration to debug a Faulty SERCOS Network
Throughout the course consideration will be given to the economic aspects of Programmable Logic and Automation Controllers The course will also contain several exercises that will assist in the understanding of much of the information presented.
 
Objective
To provide an understanding of the fundamentals, and basic techniques to select, setup and test the Programmable Automation Controllers and the Programmable Logic Controllers
 
Who Should Attend
Plant and facilities managers, engineers, technicians and supervisors who need to be familiar with the fundamentals associated with PLC and PAC Plant and facilities operations personnel; Managers, engineers, consultants, technicians and supervisors responsible for plants and facilities containing PLC and PAC Systems.

The PDDP Distance Education program works as follows:

  • Once you register for this course, you will be sent a login username and password for our online distance website.

  • You will receive the course notes in hard copy through the online website, you will receive a set of notes each week covering the course material.

  • A one hour video-conference session will be conducted by your instructor each week (if required). The objective of this session is to assist in solving the assignments, as well as answer student questions that should be sent to instructor early enough prior to the meeting time. In addition with being able to communicate with the instructor, you will also be able to communicate with other students in the same class and watch their questions being answered as well. (A high speed internet connection is strongly recommended for this feature).

  • Each set of exercises can be completed and submitted by the indicated date and your completed exercise will be marked online and and returned by your instructor.

  • To gain the most from your course, it is highly recommended that you participate fully in all discussions and exercises. Please remember that each course has a form of quiz or exercise at the end to test your understanding of the material. You will be informed of these dates when you receive the course schedule.

*Course commencement date is subject to instructor availability.
