Process Control and Instrumentation(Control Strategies, Loops, and Industrial Implementation)
This hands-on course introduces participants to the fundamentals of Allen-Bradley PLCs using the RSLogix 500 platform. Participants will learn PLC hardware architecture, programming concepts, ladder logic development, troubleshooting techniques, and maintenance best practices. Through practical exercises and simulations, learners will gain the confidence to interpret, modify, and maintain PLC-controlled industrial systems safely and effectively.
Duration: 5 days
Prerequisites: Basic technical or engineering knowledge and familiarity with industrial processes
