Hello everybody. I live in Chicago and work at airport as a maintenance electrician. I do a lot of automation technician work like control panels troubleshooting, plc troubleshooting, networking troubleshooting, HMI.. repairing, smart Homeywell and Johnson control warehouse systems troubleshooting. Pass Paul Lynn PLC programming courses 1,2,3 on Udemy.com. So I understand Rslogix500 and can work with Wonderware. I dont have EE degree but I have electrical license. Feel that it is time to go into programming and probably also drawings in AutoCad.
Is it programming field busy nowadays?
It is not a problem for me to find Maintenance electrician or Automation technician jobs. But jump into programming looks like not so easy.
What is necessary to become more competitive? EE DEEGREE? Okkkkk... Maybe you can advice any intensive courses with good reputation in Chicago?
Is it enough to know Rslogix500 and 5000 or need also Step7 and CX-programmer?
How much can make programmer with knowledge of Rslogix500, 5000, Step7, Cx-programmer, Wanderware, Factorytalk studio, Modbus, DeviceNet, Ethernet?
Thank you for your feedback guys.
