PLC Programming for Pneumatic Systems

1. Identify system requirements to establish whether a PLC is actually required.
2. Learn and apply “Statement List” and “Ladder Logic” programming languages on a FESTO PLC.
3. Identify and select electro-pneumatic components.
4. Interface PLC to hardware.
5. Apply and adhere to regulations as per OSH ACT in terms of general behaviour, working conditions and safe use of equipment.

This SLP will equip learners to perform basic programming and fault finding of PLC’s installed in an industrial environment. It will deal with the control, but not the design of electro-pneumatic circuits.
