OC4: NT-WIN Training Course Windows Based Software

This is an application course, which focuses on the integration of a PLC and HMI (Human Machine Interface). Basic to intermediate instructions are utilised through a range of engineering problems which allow the attendee to produce software solutions that are both functionally correct and provide a useful interface to the operator. Full training equipment is provided to allow the attendee to complete a number of examples and problems.

Course details:

Review of PLC hardware

Introduction to HMI hardware range and software packages

Explanation of in-built HMI diagnostic tools

Planning a useful operator interface

Importance of control and notify areas

Setting up system hardware

Downloading software to the HMI

Creating static screen elements:

• Inserting, deleting, saving and verifying software

On-line software techniques:

• Monitoring, modifying and forcing software elements
