Mitsubishi training course help users get the most from advanced HMIs.

Modern HMIs offer enough integrated control functionality to control a small machine or an inverter drive system.  Recognising the importance for customers to keep abreast of fast-moving automation technology, Mitsubishi Electric has developed a new course in GX Works3 and an updated course in GOT 2000 HMI Series.

These courses provide up-to-date knowledge for operational staff in key positions in all spheres of the manufacturing and process industries in a format to suit everyone. In addition to basic courses, the schedule includes several advanced courses, designed for people with previous Mitsubishi Electric PLC programming experience who want to learn about new hardware and software developments.

GX Works3 is the latest generation of programming and maintenance software offered by Mitsubishi Electric, and is specifically designed for the MELSEC iQ-R Series control system. It includes many new features and technologies to ensure a trouble‑free engineering environment. The training course for GX Works3 is a completely new course, and covers the iQ-R & iQ-F (FX5) PLCs and the new iQ-R & iQ-F (FX5) training rigs. It is based on training manual version 1.12.

GOT2000 HMI

GOT 2000 (GOT stands for Graphic Operation Terminal) is screen design software enabling functional elements, such as switches and lamps, graphics, text and alarms, to be displayed and operated on a monitor screen or touch-panel HMI. Since the components are created using software, the number of components attached to the operation panel as hardware can be reduced and the panel itself can be downsized. Wiring between components inside the operation panel is replaced by software and reduced.

The updated training course for GOT 2000 HMI features several new sections, including Libraries & Templates, basic details of the newer hardware products and the new GOT training rigs. Based on training manual version 2.1, the course has been redesigned so that it can be run entirely in simulation mode if required.

GX Developer software training

The PLC advanced programming course, is based around the GX Developer software, the course will run through the advanced features of all current Mitsubishi Electric PLC products. Concentrating on the applied instruction set, delegates will be able to use the mathematical functions, displaying results and interfacing with analogue units. Delegates are given many practical exercises to solve and need previous experience with either Mitsubishi Electric or other manufacturers’ PLC products.

Other courses cover PLC maintenance, networking training courses in CC-Link, Profibus, and Ethernet open networks and how to apply them to real world applications. Software training courses cover IEC PLC Programming, the MAPS SCADA system and iQ Works, Courses are also offered on inverters (basic and advanced) and servo/positioning.

In addition to offering training at three Customer Technology Centre (CTC) locations: Hatfield, Wakefield, or Livingston in Scotland, Mitsubishi Electric also offers the option of running tailored courses prepared and presented by its professional engineers, focusing on specific customer requirements. Application-specific and customer-specific courses can be conducted on-site, or at the premises of local Mitsubishi Electric partners.

In parallel with its programme of training courses, Mitsubishi Electric also runs the Mitsubishi Certified Engineer programme, aimed principally at the company’s Systems Integrator network. It is designed to generate, and recognise competent engineers, certified in Mitsubishi Electric’s Automation Systems equipment. Certified Engineers will have proven technical competence, across a wide range of Mitsubishi Electric equipment. To obtain certification, candidates must satisfy both theoretical and practical test elements.
