ADVM D0013 - Electro-Mechanical: Machine Control & PLCS
Course Description
Working with a PLC efficiently requires a strong familiarity with the specifics of the programming environment and languages. In this workshop you will work to acquire hands-on experience with industrial control equipment while working on high-end products. Realistic examples are used to motivate you to gain the skills needs to work with PLC controlled systems – which surround us in our daily lives.
