Course overview

When a controlled machine stops, the fault is usually a sensor or an actuator rather than the controller, but you need to read the program to prove it. This course teaches maintenance staff enough programming to diagnose confidently.

What you will be able to do
  • Explain how a controller scans and executes a program
  • Read ladder logic and follow a fault through it
  • Use the programming software to monitor live values
  • Diagnose input and output faults from the program
  • Make and document safe minor modifications
  • Back up and restore controller programs
Who should attend
  • Maintenance technicians and artisans
  • Instrumentation and control staff
  • Plant engineers
  • Machine operators moving into technical roles
