This course will teach participants planning, assembling, programming, maintenance and troubleshooting of production systems at various levels of complexity. This will include innovative technology and systematic use of industrial components from different market leaders in automation.
Target group: Design engineers, plant engineers, programmers, maintenance staff and instructors.
The content includes:
• The basic design of a mechatronic control system, including pneumatics, mechanics, electrical drives, sensors and PLCs.
• Input and output module tasks.
• The three programming languages: Function Chart, Ladder and Statement List.
• The basic command set for a PLC.
• Creating, loading and testing simple programs.
• Utilising the status display and fault-finding.
• Signal storage.
• PLC timer utilisation.
• Archiving and de-archiving PLC programs.
Outcomes
After completing this course, the participant will be able to:
• Identify and describe the operation of pneumatic, electro-pneumatic, electrical and PLC components as well as sensors.
• Assemble and test basic mechatronic circuits (pneumatics, electrical, and software).
• Recognise and differentiate between the types of programming languages used in the industry.
• Download a program and commission a PLC control system.
• Troubleshoot basic mechatronic systems.
Requirements:
• We recommend a basic knowledge of PLC (Introduction to PLC Seminar) and pneumatic control technology (Pneumatics Level 1) as a minimum requirement.
• The “PLC CoDeSys” (PLC281) and “Servo and Stepper drives” (ED811) courses would be beneficial.
• Participants should also be familiar with operating a PC with a Windows interface.
