PLC basics for machine maintenance

Need to understand the PLC basics required for maintenance and quick program modifications? In this course, we'll show you that you really don't have to worry about that.

For whom the course is intended

For business only.

Course length

7 days + 1 day for preparation

Siemens 1500, Siemens 300/400

What I will learn

Connect, diagnose and quickly modify the PLC program.

Description

Learn how to quickly diagnose a fault to its source and fix the error in the PLC software. We'll walk you through the basics and teach you how to find the fault so production in your company doesn't come to a standstill.

Entry level skills

You do not need to have any PLC programming experience, but experience in manufacturing will be useful.

How the course works

First we will go through everything theoretically and then on a practical example independently. We can also use your programs.

What you will need

A suitable computer. See the requirements. 
Step 7 v5.6 or later installed, a test license will suffice. The other option is an installed TIA Portal V16. We recommend using a virtual PC where you install Step7 or TIA Portal.
You will need two monitors to view the presentation/pattern and the program.
And you will find it easier to work with a mouse. 
You can certainly handle the installation and setup of the computer yourself. But if you don't know how to do it, we can help you during the day we have set aside for preparation.

Use in practice

Graduates will learn to work independently on the machines, they will be able to make light adjustments to machine functions and replace HW components without the need for an external programmer.

Pavel Jiříček

During his studies he started working in an IT company that started with industrial automation. Most of them were single-purpose machines using the Omron system. Among their customers was, for example, ÚJV Řež. At ICE he went from small and fast to complex projects, from single-purpose machines to large automotive lines for TPCA or Scania. He works on projects alone, as a team member, but also as a team leader.

He has been training programmers for over seven years. Whether colleagues on projects or newcomers in their first weeks in the company.
