Goals and objectives

Do you work on complex projects with representations of PLC and industrial BUS topologies? The seminar provides necessary detailed knowledge in the area of ​​project planning for PLC controls and bus systems. Compare data across the board with a PLC system. Determine your bus configuration graphically using the single-line representation in the project. By reusing the hardware and PLC software projects you have created, you standardise your design process, increase the quality of your projects and significantly reduce your project planning effort.
