The course teaches you the Boolean logic behind automated systems, and the control and monitoring of automated process equipment. You gain knowledge of sequence programming, hardware configuration and how PLC systems are built according to the IEC 61131-3 standard. The course is part of TUC's YH program for maintenance technicians and gives you the tools to fix faults in automated process equipment. You also learn to install and program simpler HMI panels and to use counters, timers and conversion instructions.
Duration: 6 weeks
Language: Swedish
Level: Intermediate
CSN-eligible
Time commitment: Equivalent to about 6 weeks of full-time study
The course is about automated systems and the Boolean logic behind them. The course also includes control and monitoring of automated process equipment, sequence programming and hardware configuration. The course also covers how PLC systems are built and how they are used in industrial automation. The course should give the knowledge required for the future professional role in PLC programming, hardware configuration, and control and monitoring in order to fix faults in automated process equipment, and to apply programming for a PLC system according to IEC 61131-3. The course should also give enough knowledge to apply counters, timers and conversion instructions in real models and to install and program simpler HMI panels.
