This process control training course is designed to cover all basis and advanced functions of any PLC. Students do not need to have any PLC programming experience. All basic functions necessary to create a complete PLC program using function block and ladder logic will be used.

Using the Siemens Tia Portal engineering software, the process control training course will cover such topics as general controls, digital and analog IO, ladder logic programming, alarm / notification handling, HMI, emulation, best practices and more.

The goal of this process control training course is to teach and show how to build all process control logic necessary to make a PLC do what is required in any industrial project.  All process control designed logic will be simulated and tested using PLC emulator on instructor own computer.

Moreover, this process control training course will give you knowledge and experience in building HMI and /or SCADA systems. 

The good prerequisite for this model predictive control training course is: 

• Primary Process Control

Students get a chance to learn how to: 

• define and configure any PLC system, and design any digital and / or continuous control logic.

• specify and tune any PID controller and / or complex control logic without any bumps during activation sequence.

• define and configure HMI and SCADA system, and design HMI / SCADA tags, graphics, trends and other dynamic complex logic and animations.

Process control engineers, Advanced process control engineers, Instrument engineers and DCS / PLC technicians.
