I'm going to get my certificate in plc programing , I have the option to focus on studio 5000 and the control/ compact logix familys, or rs logix 500 and sth slc/ micro logix controllers , I have both programs on my computer and currently own a slc500, but I could get a control logix unit relatively cheap,
I'm currently employed as a electrician, I know my may around a plc ,vfd's and hmi, and can trouble shoot via rs logix, my goal is to get a 2 year degree in electronics with a focus on industrial plc , so that I can become a controls engineer in the next few years, I have designed and fabricated large machines in the past , and have a very good understanding of real life electrical , mechanical , and fluid motion equiptment but always paid someone else do do the plc work,
Also I'm thinking of going through the online school of george brown, its a canadian school so if any one has heard of this place or a better school let me know,
Lastly , the company I work for pays me $30.00hr
I'm hoping to be able to make around 37-40 a hour as a control engineer, is that realistic ? From what I've seen it is
Thanks for any advice and have a good day
