PLC Intermediate

UEENEEI151A - Develop, enter and verify word and analogue control programs for programmable logic controllers

 

This course teaches you how to implement a PLC project from beginning to end and can be delivered as an accredited unit of competency or a non-accredited short course (please note UEENEEI150A is a pre-requisite).

 

This course begins by starting a PLC project from the beginning, including hardware configuration, configuring IO, and IO mapping. The course also incorporates analogue scaling, Add-On instructions, tag arrays, alias tags, good project structure, and looks at the 2 most common sequence control methods used by SAGE Engineers. The integration project involves programming and commissioning a Skills Lab training platform to complete a set scope of work using the 2 sequence methodologies. This course has been mapped to the UEENEEI151A - Develop, enter and verify word and analogue control programs for programmable logic controllers, unit of competency. It includes all formal assessments which must be successfully completed under supervision of a TAE qualified assessor in order to obtain the accreditation.

 

It is recommended for:

 

  • Entry level engineers

  • Technicians

  • Tradespeople

  • Apprentices

  • Maintenance teams

  • Operators

 

Participants should have foundation-level knowledge of electrical concepts and some working exposure to PLCs, or have completed the Introduction to Automation program.
 
In this 4-day course, you will learn how to implement a PLC project from the beginning.

 

You will cover:

 

•  IO configuring
•  IO mapping
•  Analogue scaling
•  Tag arrays
•  Alias tags
•  Good project structure
•  The 2 most common sequence control methods used by SAGE engineers

 

At the end of the course, you will:


Program and commission a SAGE training platform to complete a set scope of work using the 2 sequence methodologies
