Automation technician service according to ZVEI

Description / learning objective:

The German Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers' Association (ZVEI) has defined a new training guideline. The reason for this is the constant further development of automation technology towards Totally Integrated Automation solutions. In addition to programmable logic controllers (PLCs), these now also include components for industrial communication, for operating and monitoring tasks, safety technology and the connection of drives. This made it necessary to revise the previous PLC technician qualification.

As part of this further training guideline, we offer the qualification of Automation Technician Service in accordance with ZVEI. This is because your skills from the SIMATIC service training (courses ST-SERV1 -ST-SERV3) are refreshed and consolidated here. You will deepen your theoretical knowledge through numerous practical exercises on a SIMATIC system model, on which you will also take the exam. This consists of an automation system, decentralized peripherals, touch panel, drive and a conveyor model. The practical performance certificate includes commissioning the hardware of a PLC, a simple PLC program and the components of Totally Integrated Automation as well as expanding this PLC program.

After successfully completing the course, you will receive recognized proof of your specialist knowledge. Regular updating of your knowledge is ensured: To ensure that you always have the latest know-how for your requirements, the automation technician service according to ZVEI provides for a refresher course every three years. This requires renewed participation in this training course, which is adapted in the meantime in line with product updates.
