Online Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC/SPS) Course

This distance learning program qualifies technical professionals to configure, operate, and maintain modern automated production facilities using programmable logic controllers. It is designed for specialists across electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, automotive production, and related manufacturing sectors seeking a recognized qualification in automation technology. Participants develop the essential competencies required to monitor automated processes and optimize production cycles efficiently.

The curriculum encompasses the fundamental principles and operational architecture of programmable logic controllers, covering logic operations, memory behavior, time and counting processes, and flow diagrams. Students advance into complex topics such as signal processing, jump operations, control safety, and digital control engineering, including continuous and discontinuous controllers. Extensive practical training is delivered through the TrySim simulation software utilizing the Siemens S7 instruction set, enabling learners to design and debug ladder logic, function block diagrams, and statement lists.

Instruction combines digital and printed study materials, featuring comprehensive study booklets alongside integrated 24/7 AI learning assistance via KILEA and individualized academic support from remote instructors. The flexible distance format allows self-paced study supported by an online study center, discussion forums, and practical simulation exercises, concluding with an institutional certificate and optional English credential.

Applicants must hold a completed vocational qualification and demonstrate sound foundational knowledge in mathematics and natural sciences. Technical prerequisites include a multimedia PC running Windows with internet access and a modern browser. Enrollment can be completed directly through the institution's online registration portal.
