Course description
PLCs for Non-Programmers
This PLCs for Non-Programmers training course is an interactive and hands-on program breaking down the seemingly complex world of automation and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) into practical material that the average non-programmer can easily digest. Students will leave this course able to speak the PLC language, read and interpret PLC ladder logic, troubleshoot PLC systems and components, and fix the most common PLC problems on their own.
Would you like to take this class from home or your worksite? TPC Training offers this course as a Virtual Instructor-Led. A Virtual Instructor-Led is a course format that allows you to interact with a live instructor.
