PLC & HMI Training Overview

IDEC micro PLCs offer powerful features and advanced functionality without complicated programming. Want to learn practical PLC and HMI skills and knowledge so you can hit the ground running? IDEC training courses not only give you the ability to program, debug and maintain IDEC automation systems, but also provide you with the hardware and software you need to get started on your designs as soon as you leave. The hands-on, interactive structure of these classes utilizes real-world examples to provide a complete technical education in just four days. And with small class sizes, you can expect to get personalized, one-on-one attention, including time with IDEC experts to ask specific application questions and get help finding the solutions you need.


IDEC PLC/HMI Training covers:

  1. PLC fundamentals such as hardware, numbering systems and how a PLC works.
  2. Basic functions: latching circuit, series and parallel circuits; how to use timers, counters and advanced functions such as data manipulation; Modbus Communications and PID.
  3. Demonstrations on the MicroSmart FC6A.
  4. Programming on the high-performance HMI.
  5. Question & Answer session with our PLC experts to discuss your specific controls application.
