Process Control & Automation – Engineering Basics to Field Operations

Introduction:

Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) are small industrial computers with modular components designed to automate customized control processes. PLCs are often used in factories and industrial plants to control motors, pumps, lights, fans, circuit breakers, and other machinery. The training is designed for individuals with minimal experience in PLC programming who aim to develop a strong foundation in industrial automation using FPCL S7-300/S7-400 PLCs.
