Program Overview: What is PLC, SCADA and Industrial Automation Corporate Training?
PLC, SCADA & Industrial Automation is Edstellar's instructor-led technical program for controls engineers, automation technicians, and plant teams running production lines. Participants work through PLC hardware and I/O wiring, ladder logic and IEC 61131-3 programming, HMI design, SCADA architectures, and industrial networks. Every concept ties back to the plant floor: the automation skills that keep processes running reliably.
Training is hands-on from the first session. Learners wire I/O, write ladder logic, and build HMI screens in guided labs that mirror real control panels, then test every build against simulated plant conditions, including the fault scenarios that cause most unplanned downtime. Instructors coach the team through SCADA configuration, alarming, and network protocols, reviewing each exercise with direct feedback on reliability. The program closes with a capstone where participants integrate a full PLC-SCADA control cell end to end.
Untrained teams patch automation problems with guesswork: brittle logic, blind spots in the SCADA, and alarms nobody trusts. This program teaches your engineers to diagnose control faults systematically and design logic they can defend. The result is less downtime and automation your plant can rely on.
The capstone earns its name: each team commissions an integrated PLC-SCADA control cell, wiring the I/O, programming the ladder logic, and building the SCADA screens that supervise it. When the cell runs its cycle cleanly, your engineers have proof they can spec, build, and troubleshoot a real automation loop back at the plant.
Across seven modules, your engineers move from automation foundations to a commissioned control cell capstone. Labs use leading PLC and SCADA platforms, with the exact hardware and versions confirmed with your team before delivery, so every skill transfers directly to your plant.
Delivered as a hybrid instructor-led program, it fits around your calendar, with scheduling set along with you, and content tailored to your industry and equipment.

Teams that Benefit from this PLC, SCADA and Industrial Automation Group Training
This program is built for engineering and maintenance teams that own control systems, from controls engineers to plant managers. Content adapts to each cohort's equipment and industry, so every team practices the automation work their roles actually demand.
Program and commission the controls your plant runs on.
Controls engineers master ladder logic, SCADA configuration, and industrial networking, so every control system they ship is reliable and well documented.
Workflow friction
- Inconsistent programming standards across plants
- SCADA projects stall on configuration details
- Network issues slow commissioning
How the program helps
- Program PLCs with documented standards
- Configure SCADA without rework
- Commission networks faster
Practice use cases
- PLC programming
- SCADA configuration
- Network commissioning
Cut downtime with faster, sharper troubleshooting.
Maintenance technicians learn to read programs, trace faults, and verify I/O, so production lines recover in minutes, not shifts.
Workflow friction
- Fault diagnosis takes too long
- Program changes are risky and undocumented
- Alarm floods hide real problems
How the program helps
- Diagnose faults in minutes
- Make safe, documented program changes
- Read alarms that matter
Practice use cases
- Fault troubleshooting
- I/O verification
- Alarm management
Own automation decisions with technical confidence.
Engineering managers understand what good controls work looks like, so they scope projects, judge vendor work, and plan upgrades with confidence.
Workflow friction
- Hard to judge automation vendor quality
- Upgrade projects run over budget
- No plant-wide controls standard
How the program helps
- Scope automation projects accurately
- Judge vendor proposals on merit
- Set one controls standard
Practice use cases
- Project scoping
- Vendor evaluation
- Upgrade planning
Each cohort works through role-relevant hands-on labs, then leaves with a commissioned control cell as proof of skill.
Prerequisites: This program is built for working engineers and technicians: familiarity with basic electrical concepts and any prior exposure to plant equipment helps, but no prior PLC programming experience is needed. What helps most is a role that touches controls, maintenance, or plant operations. Content adapts to each cohort's equipment and industry, so controls engineers and maintenance technicians learn side by side.
Graduate Engineer to Controls Architect
The program takes engineers from automation fundamentals to commissioning-ready skill: foundation concepts, intermediate PLC and HMI work, then advanced SCADA, networking, and an integrated capstone.
Engineers grow from automation foundations to owning integrated control systems as the modules progress.
Mixed cohort, or several teams at once?
We can tailor the training to different teams, roles, and experience levels within the same program.
Certificate of Training Completion.
On successful completion, employees receive an Edstellar course completion certificate, recognizing their commitment to ongoing learning and professional development. It validates the skills they have built and motivates them to keep growing and contribute to organizational success.
Earned, not attended. Awarded on completion of all hands-on labs and the capstone project.

Integrate PLC Logic, Operator Interfaces, and SCADA Into Testable Control Workflows
Edstellar develops industrial automation skills across the connected layers of a control cell. Participants relate I/O behavior to ladder logic, HMI design, SCADA configuration, and industrial communications. Guided exercises culminate in an integrated training cell, with feedback on sequencing, operator visibility, connectivity, and systematic diagnosis of injected faults.
- Step 01
Consult
We assess electrical foundations, plant responsibilities, and exposure to controls equipment to identify gaps in PLC programming, operator interfaces, or industrial network troubleshooting.
- Step 02
Plan
We map automation layers before progressing through PLC I/O, ladder sequencing, HMI alarms, SCADA historians, and communications, then integrate the control-cell exercise.
- Step 03
Align
We align controls and automation expertise with engineers' and technicians' experience, confirming suitable training equipment or simulation and supervised boundaries for I/O verification.
- Step 04
Customize
We adapt conveyor and sorting scenarios to familiar process sequences, using training-cell tags, alarm priorities, and controlled communication faults rather than live production changes.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants develop ladder sequences, configure operator screens and SCADA tags, and diagnose lab communications, receiving feedback on interconnections, alarm usability, and troubleshooting evidence.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the integrated control cell for correct sequencing, consistent tags and displays, functioning communications, and a documented explanation of fault isolation and recovery.
