Automation Diagnostic training objectives

Master automation diagnostics in production to quickly locate faults under pressure in the company.
Apply a diagnostic method starting from the observed symptom rather than intuition.
Read an unknown program to quickly identify the blocking condition.
Distinguish a sensor fault, a pre-actuator fault and a program fault.
Use PLC and HMI diagnostic tools on real test benches.
Restore production without masking the real cause of the fault.
Optimize maintenance interventions through structured and readable programs.

Program

Automation Diagnostic curriculum: 3 modules over 3 days

Module 1 : Symptom-based diagnostics (test benches, sensors, drives)

Participants discover a structured diagnostic method on real test benches equipped with sensors and pre-actuators. They learn to start from the visible symptom to identify the origin of the fault. Timed exercises allow quick localization of anomalies without risky assumptions. PLC and HMI tools are used to confirm observations and improve efficiency.

Module 2 : Program reading and analysis (PLC, HMI)

Practical work on structured programs written for another automation engineer. Trainees identify the blocking condition in unknown code and distinguish sensor faults from pre-actuator and program faults. Faults are introduced and timed to measure localization time under constraint. Emphasis is placed on readability and handover to a third party.

Module 3 : Production restart and validation (SCADA, maintenance)

Learners apply the complete method to restore machines to production without masking the real cause. They use SCADA and HMI diagnostic tools to validate interventions. Predictive maintenance scenarios are covered to anticipate faults. Review of troubleshooting times and transfer of operational skills.
