Automation and Control Systems Maintenance

The reliability of modern manufacturing and process facilities is intrinsically linked to the health of their automation and control systems. This course focuses on the systematic maintenance, troubleshooting, and lifecycle management of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), Distributed Control Systems (DCS), and associated instrumentation. Participants will learn how to read control system logic, diagnose common faults in sensors and actuators, manage software and firmware revisions, and implement cybersecurity best practices for industrial control environments. The goal is to minimize control system-related downtime and ensure consistent process performance.
