Introduction
Training course introducion / brief
This is an application course which focuses on the integration of PLC and HMI (Human Machine Interface). It aims to equip the participant’s knowledge in the integration of HMI and PLC by explains the set-up and basic graphic objects that the HMI uses in conjunction with PLC devices. This Course also introduces you to PLC, its general control Concept and the areas of applications in industry in which they are being applied. 
It will introduce also the design of programmable controllers includes a number of rugged features that allow PLCs to be installed in almost any industrial environment. It will explore PLC installation, explaining the specifications for proper PLC component placement and environment. 
PLC installation 
Also explain other factors that affect PLC operation, such as noise, heat, and voltage. In addition, it will discuss wiring guidelines and safety precautions. Although proper PLC installation leads to good system operation, no programmable controller system is without faults. Therefore, we will investigate proactive maintenance techniques, as well as reactive troubleshooting processes. 
Course Objectives
At the end of the training course, participants will be able to
  •  Understand the major components which make up the Systems, operation of modules, performance critical protection, basic System configuration within the software, Fault Reporting, I/O Circuits employed in the system, including redundancy and fault tolerance.
  • Identify, isolate and repair faults of field interfaces as well as the Controller equipment
  • Understand and perform the steps necessary to initialize the system, Including power-up sequences and program loading and execution Perform routine maintenance operations on the system
  • Identify and maintain the components of a typical automation system.
  • Understand the basic steps in hardware assembly, cabling, wiring and testing.
  • Establish communications with the PLC with multiple technologies.
  • Retrieve, Archive, and Download programs.
  • Use the hardware configuration editor to inspect and troubleshoot hardware problems.
  • To be familiar with the system drawings and documentation as required to Support maintenance and troubleshooting procedures.
  • Interpret module information, carry out module replacement and plant maintenance
  • Understand the fundamentals of PLC start-up and operation.
