A new member of the E/I division, Franklin E.
Vios was sent to Cebu to attend the SIEMENS
PLC Basic Programming training for five days. The training was held in SIEMENS Training Center,
Mandaue City last March 30 – April 3, 2009. Attending in trainings (like this) is one of
PASAR’s ways of bridging the need to develop individual competency in carrying out their technical responsibilities. Other participating companies include Pepsi-Cola Products
Phils., Inc., Coca-Cola Bottlers Phil., Inc., AFC Fertilizer & Chemicals, Inc., San Miguel Brewery, Inc., San Miguel
Yamamura Packaging Corp., General Milling Corporation, and
Tradepoints, Inc.
The main objective of the training was mainly to become familiar with
SIMATIC S7 programming. After every topic, participants were able to structure and create simple S7 programs and run them on a system model, consisting of the S7-300 automation system, the ET200S distributed peripheral as a remote system, the
TP 170B touch panel for the
HMI, the MM440 drive and a conveyor model.
Though, the worth of this training is still to be tested through time in actual circumstances, it was truly a wonderful experience.... Therefore, everyone should have this opportunity...!
