PLC training courses

The course aims to introduce the participant to the basic principles and techniques of PLC programming. The course makes use of the features of the PLC programming tool GX Works2 from Mitsubishi Electric. The course provides the participant with an understanding of the basic functions of a PLC, how to create simple applications for a PLC using GX Works, and how GX Works can be used to monitor, test, and modify PLC applications

Delegates need no previous experience with Mitsubishi Electric PLCs. However some knowledge of other manufacturers’ products would be useful. An understanding of basic electrical principles and number bases would be an advantage.

This course uses dedicated FX PLC hardware together with GX Works2 programming software.
