Introduction and Scope
  • This program aims to empower the technical staff in the industry and tech-enthusiasts, with knowledge, experience, and the confidence in undertaking small to medium scale automation task.

  • The program better suited to beginners and intermediate skill level personnel.

  • The well-organized lecture and practical program starts from the fundamentals and expands gradually to real world application-designing giving the opportunity even to a novice programmer to enhance his/her skills, confidence and competency to handle industrial automation task successfully. Various teaching and learning methodologies are employed to create a very productive learning environment for the candidates.

  • Besides to PLC programming the participants are exposed to other important aspects like interfacing different types of sensors and actuators, troubleshooting of systems, etc. Further, designing of customized graphical data acquisition and control systems will be introduced.

Selection is done on first come first served basis if the applicant is qualified.
  • Duly completed application forms along with the copies of educational certificates and a copy of the National Identity Card should be forwarded to the address given in the application form. Alternatively, the documents may be scanned to PDF format and email to : plctraining.uom[at]gmail.com
