PLC & SCADA Course for Tiruvannamalai Students – online, hybrid or classroom

A PLC (programmable logic controller) is a rugged industrial computer that reads sensors and switches and turns motors, valves and lamps on or off according to a program. SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) software sits above the PLCs and shows the process on screen, with live values, alarms, trends and recipes.

Engineering and diploma graduates from Tiruvannamalai often target design and drafting jobs in Chennai, Sriperumbudur and the Cheyyar SIPCOT area, where CAD and BIM skills are asked for in job ads.

Drafting and design jobs for Tiruvannamalai learners tend to sit in the Cheyyar SIPCOT units, the Sriperumbudur and Kanchipuram belt and construction firms in Chennai. Arani’s silk-weaving businesses and the temple town’s building trade also hire people who can read and produce drawings.

After PLC & SCADA, roles such as PLC Programmer, Automation Engineer and SCADA / HMI Developer are the usual targets; from Tiruvannamalai the nearest employers are the Cheyyar SIPCOT units, the Sriperumbudur–Kanchipuram belt and Chennai building firms. By the end of the course you will be able to explain types of industrial automation and where PLCs and SCADA fit and describe PLC architecture, isolation barriers and types of PLC.

Working through PLC & SCADA, you will learn to explain types of industrial automation and where PLCs and SCADA fit, describe PLC architecture, isolation barriers and types of PLC and write ladder programs using latching, interlocking, memory, timers, counters, jumps and subroutines.

You will work with Siemens STEP 7 SIMATIC Manager (S7-300), Siemens TIA Portal (S7-1200) and Siemens WinCC; the Course on PLC & SCADA (MITSUBISHI) programme includes modules such as Introduction to Industrial Automation, Programmable Logic Controller Basics and PLC Programming and Ladder Logic.

Roles to aim for include PLC Programmer – writes and tests PLC programs for machines and process lines and Automation Engineer – designs, programs and commissions PLC and SCADA systems. Basic computer use and a basic idea of electrical circuits (switches, relays, contactors) are enough. An electrical, electronics or instrumentation background makes the course easier.

Learners also join this course from Arani, Cheyyar, Polur, Vandavasi, Chengam, Kalasapakkam and Kilpennathur – most choose hybrid batches and come to Vellore only for labs, doubt clearing and project reviews.
