Training in practice · Prisma, Diemen
Understanding, building and troubleshooting networks.
Jurn Overmars and Raymond Consen-Tump delivered a networking course at Prisma, combining theory with hands-on equipment exercises. The course connected cable assembly with network configuration and systematic troubleshooting.
Cabling and connections
Recognising cable types and selecting suitable cabling
Arranging conductors to T568B and fitting RJ45 connectors
Checking cables with a network tester
Working with keystones and wall outlets
Configuration and troubleshooting
IP addresses, subnets and the roles of switches and routers
Configuring VLANs on a managed switch
Building a network setup and testing connectivity
Investigating faults in cabling, IP configuration, VLANs and network services

De Techniekschool · Woerden
Ten years of teaching, straight from the field.
Global Control Group works closely with De Techniekschool in Woerden on PLC programming, electrical fundamentals and control circuits. Raymond has taught there for more than ten years. At GCG, he also guides colleagues in their work on controls and software.
De Techniekschool and T Gear learning materials provide context for the practical learning pathways. Course organisation, location and enrolment are coordinated with the relevant training provider.
Learning by doing
The diagram becomes a working setup.
Make a connection. Follow a signal. See how the circuit behaves. These training setups bring diagrams, controls and component behaviour together.
01 · Learning pathway
B&R Automation
For engineers and technicians working with B&R controls or preparing to start.
Topics
Working with Automation Studio and project structure
Hardware configuration, I/O mapping and variables
PLC programming and commissioning a controller
Diagnostics: monitoring values, analysing faults and using traces
What you learn
Learn how a B&R project is structured and how to configure, test and investigate a controller. Software versions and modules are agreed in advance.
Basic control-system knowledge is a useful starting point. We discuss entry level beforehand.
Also see the B&R Academy training catalog (opens in a new tab) for the full B&R range.
02 · Learning pathway
PLC programming for beginners
For new programmers and technical staff who want to understand how a PLC controls a machine.
Topics
The PLC, digital inputs and outputs
Logic functions and variables
Timers, counters and signal transitions
Transferring a program and an introduction to HMI
What you learn
Work towards understanding and building simple control logic. Practical exercises connect program code to the behaviour of the installation.
Designed for beginners. Your technical background and learning goals determine the appropriate starting level.
03 · Learning pathway
Electrical fundamentals & control circuits
For technical staff who want to understand, read and build electrical circuits.
Topics
Switches and electrical logic
Relays and latching contacts
Timer relays and interlocking circuits
Sequential circuits and practical schematics
What you learn
Connect component behaviour with the electrical diagram and circuit. Understanding, practice and investigation are central.
Exact content and prerequisites are tailored to the group and the selected learning pathway.
