Hands-on training in PLC Programming and Networking
Date : 17 to 19 December, 2024
Venue : IMTMA Technology Centre, Bengaluru
 
LAST DATE FOR REGISTRATION 10 December 2024
INTRODUCTION
 

In today's industrial landscape, Programmable Logic controller (PLC) serve as the cornerstone of automation, enabling precise control over machinery and processes. PLC represents a key driver in automation, production & process planning in the manufacturing industry. Many industries of today, including packaging, pharmaceuticals, refineries, mines, machine shops, power plants and food industries use PLC systems for automation of their machinery to produce more, consistently, quickly and efficiently.

Modern PLC systems can be connected to data networks and interfaced with other automation control devices. However, for improvement / modification of the automation system, correct interpretation of the Logics and changes need to be made to the PLC program as and when required.

Keeping this in view, Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers' Association is organizing a 3-day Hands-on training program in PLC Programming & Networking. This training is designed to equip participants with practical skills in both PLC programming and networking, crucial for optimizing operational efficiency and troubleshooting in industrial settings.
