GE PLC training

A great solution for ensuring up-time of older legacy GE PLCs is to train your team. When reacting to a critical down situation, troubleshooting an intermittent problem, or simply making a program change, having the right tools and expertise on-hand ensures that everything goes smoothly.  Keeping your team fresh with troubleshooting and programming skills for GE PLCs – like 90-30, 90-70, Genius, VersaMax – gives you the expertise you need on site when systems go down or you just need to make a change.

GE PLC Training for Maintenance staff, either at a scheduled CIMTEC (a division of Qualitrol) class or with a custom class designed to meet your specific needs, provides a great environment for learning the older GE PLCs.  We can provide this training at our CIMTEC Training Center or on your site.  in addition, we can even customize the class to cover just the PLC families, the modules and the program functions that you use in your facility, so that time isn’t wasted teaching ideas or topics that are not relevant to your operations.  Ideally, we’d like to look at your PLC programs ahead of time so we can drill into just the right topics that will enable your maintenance team to be most effective when they get back to the plant.
