Our TR3020 and TR3020-0001 courses offer identical content. Please note, the TR3020-0001 course is eligible for HRD claims.

This course focuses on PLC programming of the TwinCAT 3 system. Participants will learn about PLC programming. The training is based on the IEC 61131-3 standard. Advanced options such as object-oriented extensions of the IEC standard, module preparation in C++, or high-level language visualization interfaces are deliberately not included. Optionally, an additional training day can be booked to teach the basics of axis commissioning with TwinCAT NC PTP.
