The objectives to be achieved through the training course are to ensure that the learners:
• Have sufficient knowledge and understanding of how programming works with the PLC and its conversion to operational function
• Build up skills as beginners who are new to programming or functional designs
• Understanding the different programming languages available on PLC and how they can be used according to the different needs
• We can select the most suitable approach that suits the need of different organisations based on their operations
• Can design programmes that genuinely work on the PLC system
• Are capable of implementing changes to existing systems to meet the organisation’s demand
• Have the technical capacity to analyse and monitor changes across the system
• Can maintain and troubleshoot the PLC system as and when needed
