The
advanced course is aimed
at personnel who have
gained a thorough basic
understanding of the PLC-5.
The course has been designed
to introduce some of the
more complex functions
and facilities associated
with the PLC-5. It would
be an advantage if the
student has already completed
a PLC-5 4 day maintenance
course.
Where
possible, application
specific exercises, actual
drawings and programs
listings are used to allow
the students to gain the
greatest possible benefit
from the course.
