Training on Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) Engineering
Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) Engineering Training for Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(Training + Skill Assessment + Certification + Project)
Overview
The Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) Engineering Training is designed to equip electrical and electronics engineers with practical knowledge and hands-on skills to design, program, operate, and troubleshoot PLC systems used in industrial automation. The course covers PLC architecture, programming languages, I/O systems, communication protocols, integration with sensors and actuators, and real-time industrial applications.
Engineers with practical experience but without formal certification can undergo a skill assessment to identify gaps in their PLC knowledge. Targeted training is provided to strengthen weak areas. Participants receive certification and project documentation upon completion. Fresh graduates gain exposure to industrial automation using PLCs in sectors such as manufacturing, power, oil & gas, and process industries.
Why Skill Assessment Is Important
Skill assessment ensures participants are evaluated for:
Understanding of PLC architecture, hardware, and software
Proficiency in programming and configuring PLCs
Ability to interface PLCs with sensors, actuators, and control systems
Troubleshooting and maintenance skills for PLC systems
Compliance with industrial safety and operational standards
This approach ensures the training focuses on improving practical competence and readiness for industrial automation projects.
