Description
The course includes the explanation of the hardware functions and the programming of the controller in C considering the requirements in SIL2/PLd projects. Further contents are the introduction to the diagnostic functions, memory protection and other safety specific functions of the software.
The course is intended for developers who program their own safety applications on the ESX.4cs-gw.
