This course is designed for people who have previous experience in PLC programming and would like to improve their programming and troubleshooting skills.

You should already have taken the Introductory Programming Course or have real world experience before taking this course.

What are the Benefits?

• You’ll gain in-depth knowledge of Automationdirect.com, PLCs, I/O, and C-More Operator Panels.
• Excellent training for maintenance staff enabling them to troubleshoot and install PLCs.

What to Expect:

Plenty of Hands-ON! : There is NO BETTER WAY to learn PLC programming than to dig in and start programming! From DAY ONE you will be learning how to configure, specify, program and troubleshoot a REAL PLC control system! Each work station has an actual PLC complete with functional Inputs and Outputs. The instructor, Doug Bell, draws on his diverse background to make the programming examples reflect REAL-WORLD situations in such a manner that WILL keep you interested throughout the entire course.
