I will have job interview with test for Industrial electrician in Paper Mill. Can any one know what would be the typical test and question in connection with PLC? What knowledge level I have to have? Thanks
Thank for sending me to courses. I’m sure I will take some if I’m hired.
My question more specifically is what I have to rely knows now to get the job. Did someone went or have knowledge about the expected or required knowledge level for industrial Electrician?
Thanks this helpIm an industrial electrician and i work in a paper mill in sweden.
I am the youngest one there by 20 years so my job has been put towards being the plants PLC expert since i have the most recent knowlage from school (im 24yo).
Where im working we have two types of technicians, one is instrumental technician and the other is electrical technician but we all go under the name of industrial electricians since everyone of us should know the basics of everything but have specialties with larger knowlage.
The instrumental technicians are specialist at regulation control and the instrumental controllers.
The electricians are more toward just electrical stuff like motors and such.
Im a hybrid of these two but specilises in PLC and control systems for motors.
Since you are looking for advice on PLCs im guessing your applying for job in the PLC department.
If i have to guess i would say that you will be mostly used for troubleshooting the machines wich would require a more general knowlage of how PLCs works and how to read the logic.
If you know one brand of PLCs the steps for learning a new one is rather small since they are all designed for roughly the same things.
So i would say that you need to learn the logic of programming a PLC regardless of brand just to get an overall knowlage since there are allways manuals to read and people to ask on more specific issues.
I hope this answer has given you anything
