Statement of Attainment (SOA)
This Statement is issued to a student who has successfully completed one or more units of competency on meeting the prerequisite requirements.

PLC Automation Course (Advanced) is a post-trade professional development course for candidates who would like to gain exposure in and enhance their PLC and process control skills. In the PLC 2 course we will be using

• Siemens S7-300 controllers and the software Step 7;
• Allan Bradley Micrologix 1000 controllers and RSlogix Micro-starter lite software

This course is designed for electricians, electrical technicians, maintenance personnel, and machine design engineers and those who need to or wish to familiarise themselves with sequence control, process data and safety applications. On successful completion of training and assessment, students who have already completed the UEECD0007, UEEIC0013 and UEEIC0015 covered under PMV’s “PLC  Automation Short Course – Basic”, will be issued with the units of competency, listed above.

You will undergo one on one practical training with industry experienced, qualified Instrument and Electrical Professional Trainers. This will be in the following technologies on a purpose-built instrumentation skid/ facilities and control system with HART compliant field instruments and Siemens and Allen Bradley PLC Control System:

PLC Training in Automation Course (Advanced) covers:

• State sequencer design techniques
• State sequencer programming
• Program organisation and documentation
• Ladder Diagram (LD), Structured Text (ST) and Sequential Function Chart (SFC) programming languages
• Data monitor and trace tools
• Process data including machine cycle time and idle time
• HMI screen configuration
• Alarm set up
• Introduction to machine safety requirements
• Integrating safety functions with the control system.
• Using simulation tools for testing programs
• Download, test and fault find PLC program on PLC hardware

Entering and displaying analogue values and normalising analogue values

Blended delivery of 30% theory and 70% practical training with what you are likely to see in a typical modern industrial environment with PLC control system.

• Intensive hands-on installation, fault finding and commissioning experience
• Quality time with PMV trainers to review the theory and discuss feedback on theory assessment
• Practical exercises as part of the competency-based training outcome.
