Industrial Training & Consultancy Services
PLCs
We believe that the
breadth and experience of our PLC capability is unrivalled. We provide training
on 18 leading manufacturers systems and for a number of these manufacturers we
actually run their training business for them.
Variable Speed Drives
We offer a comprehensive range of introductory and generic courses on AC
& DC Drives. We have developed working partnerships with a number of leading
Drives manufacturers and can offer specific courses aimed at maintenance
personnel.
Servo Control
We offer introductory and generic courses on servo and motion control
systems. We are able to provide training on the latest Rockwell ControlLogix
ULTRA 3000 digital servo controller with SERCOS as well as other leading
manufacturers' systems.
HMI Panels
HMI display panels are increasingly being used to provide first-line
diagnostics and as an operator interface. We provide training on most leading
manufacturers' HMIs and offer courses that address the needs of maintenance
personnel and different courses covering screen design and editing for those who
need to modify and improve existing applications.
Fieldbus networking
Courses are available covering leading fieldbus systems including
Profibus, DeviceNet, Interbus and ASi. Electrical and engineering managers are
increasingly realising the importance of maintenance personnel having a good
understanding of fieldbuses because they are an integral part of modern PLC
based control systems.
SCADA
We are able to offer training on a number of leading SCADA packages.
Networking & Communications
Training is available on a range of industrial networking options
including Profibus, DeviceNet, ControlNet, Interbus, ASi and Industrial
Ethernet.
Troubleshooting PLC based Control Systems: Part 1
Part 1 covers the fundamentals of PLCs; what they are, how they work and
what they do. The course is based around three of the most popular PLCs
(Siemens S5, Allen Bradley SLC 500 & Mitsubishi FX Series) and covers system
hardware, first line diagnostics, addressing and relay replacement instructions
sufficient to equip maintenance craftsmen to be able to distinguish between PLC
and machine faults and to be able to relate electrical drawings and PLC program
printouts to machine status and I/O LEDs.
Troubleshooting PLC based Control Systems: Part 2
This course builds on the basics of Siemens S5, Allen Bradley SLC 500 &
Mitsubishi FX Series PLCs covered in Part 1, to include low level use of the
programmer/monitor to interrogate the PLC on-line for diagnostics, system and
I/O status. The ability to check the status of internal flags, examine timers
and counters and check the validity of programs is covered for each of Siemens
S5, Allen Bradley SLC 500 & Mitsubishi FX Series.
Industrial Electrics and Control Fundamentals:
Part 1
This course covers essential basic electrical and safety fundamentals
required for maintenance personnel working in and around control panels and
electrical control gear. A range of common industrial electrical components are
included with delegates being able to identify the component and distinguish
between a good and a bad one. The basics of AC and DC motors are covered
together with setting and resetting MCBs, RCDs and overloads.
Industrial Electrics and Control Fundamentals:
Part 2
The Part 2 course builds on the foundations of Part 1 and includes
further fault finding practical experience on a range of modern control
components and equipment and includes practicals with a range of sensors, safety
relays and variable speed drives and basic PLCs.
Introduction to Automation & Control Systems
A 3 day skills-update course which introduces a range of modern control
techniques (PLC, inverters, servos, steppers), communications and networking and
covers the operation of a range of modern field sensors and actuators. The
course was originally intended for mechanical engineers who have had little
involvement with modern controls and who are expected to work with and on modern
machines and processes.
Electrical
Health & Safety
As you probably already know, the law requires that people working on or
around machinery & systems powered by electricity, must be given appropriate
training. Do you know what this means?
A number of our clients have had visits from the HSE & sites have been found to
be wanting. Do you have procedures for safe working? Are they sound? Do
your people have the essential under-pinning Electrical Health & Safety
knowledge, have they been taken through the procedures & demonstrated
competence?
Do you have the supporting documentary evidence? Have you done enough?
Our focus on these courses is Electrical Health & Safety. We have a 1 day course
for qualified and experienced ELECTRICIANS & a 2 day course for NON-ELECTRICAL
personnel. The course provides an excellent preparation for your essential
site–specific training but also provides an important reminder for those who you
may have trained some years ago.
An experienced industrial electrician who recently attended the 1 day course
commented that he was “surprised at how much I had forgotten that I knew”. Very
often, with Electrical Health & Safety, there are no second chances!
17th Edition I.E.E. Wiring Regulations
A 3 day course
leading to C&G 2382-10 standard.
Delegates can sit the C&G 2382 Exam on dates throughout the year.
17th Edition I.E.E. Wiring Regulations
Inspect, Test & Certificate
A 3 day course for electrical personnel who are familiar with BS 7671 or
who have attended the 16th/17th Edition I.E.E. Wiring Regulations Course and who need
to expand their knowledge and gain experience of inspection and testing
procedures to provide an inspection and test facility. Delegates can sit the
C&G 2392-20 Exam at the end of the course.
There is an optional 3 day prep course (Fundamentals of Verification 2392-10) which can be attended prior to the exam
which will increase the likelihood of a successful result.
PAT Testing
With more and more companies needing to stay within the law without
having to increase additional regular costs by using contractors, the
requirement to offer Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) training has increased
significantly. Our course is supported by Seaward who are the leading supplier
of the right test equipment.
Process Instrumentation
With the demise of the customer training arms of major Control &
Instrumentation manufacturers & suppliers & with the lack of training investment
by many end-users in recent years, companies are now realising how vulnerable
they are with the shortage of experienced instrument technicians available
today. Our fundamentals course sets out to cover the basic principles of
control & instrumentation & can give both electrical & non-electrical
maintenance personnel an excellent insight into the requirements of maintaining
& troubleshooting a range of process instrumentation.
Robotics
In conjunction with the leading robot manufacturer Fanuc, we have
developed a “Fundamentals of Robotics for
Maintenance People” course which covers important basic knowledge for
maintenance teams and serves as a primer for those going on to attend specific
programming courses with the robot manufacturer.
Introduction to Pneumatics & Hydraulics
A 5 day programme covering the fundamentals of Pneumatics and Hydraulics
for personnel involved with first-line maintenance.
Basic Pneumatics
A 3 day course for maintenance personnel covering safe working practices
when dealing with compressed air, reading and understanding drawings and
pneumatic circuits and the operation of principle pneumatic components.
Basic Mechanical Maintenance
A 3 day course covering the safe use of hand tools and basic fitting
practices and includes the fault-find and repair of mechanical equipment
including removing, stripping and rebuilding pumps, gearboxes and bearings and
the alignment of chains, belts and couplings.
CNC
We have provided CNC training for a number of years and, in addition to
generic courses, we can offer manufacturer-specific training on a number of
leading CNC systems.
