About this course

This course looks at using the other three programming languages, Sequential Function Chart (SFC), Function Block Diagram (FB) and Structured Text (ST). It incorporates a number of short exercises including messaging, produced and consumed tags. The integration project involves programming and commissioning a Skills Lab training platform to complete a set scope of work using a SFC and the native ST inside of the chart itself.

As this course does not map directly to a formal unit of competency, it does not follow the same structure as the previous short courses. The theory is embedded within the practical exercises and there are no formal assessments. Nevertheless, you should find this course both challenging and rewarding!

It is recommended for:

• Entry-level engineers

• Technicians

• Tradespeople

• Apprentices and maintenance teams

Operators participants should have a hands-on understanding of the PLC in which they are looking to upskill.

We recommend that participants complete the Intermediate Industrial Automation course before enrolling in this course.
