PLC– Logic Development, Programming and Troubleshooting
Electrical & Power Engineering · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 3,900
Overview
This course is designed to benefit you with practical up-to-date information on the application of PLC’s and SCADA to the automation and process control of plants and factories. It is suitable for people who have little or no exposure to PLC and SCADA but expect to become involved in some or all aspects of PLC and SCADA installation and Programming. While the course is ideal for people who are new to PLC and SCADA, it will be of value to those who already have the basic skills, but need to refresh and update their basic knowledge.
