Course Objective

At the very core of industrial automation lies Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) as its main component. With the integration of PLC, various operations involving complex or sequential logics can be actualized with easy-to-program and troubleshoot PLC programming language, which is based on IEC 61131-3 standards. Our course will provide you with detailed knowledge, coupled with practical approach to directly apply PLC programming language in solving everyday problems to enable the next generation of automation. This course aims to equip participants with essential knowledge and skills in wiring components to PLC and programming using Omron Sysmac Studio. Participants can apply their skills in designing PLC and HMI control to drive various devices and equipment.
