presented by
Robert Holm PhD, MIEEE
After completing his studies in Electrical and Electronic Engineering
(MEng) and applied mathematics (BSc Hons) in 1997, Robert
worked in industry as a power electronics design engineer. The
design of electrical machines was his next pursuit, and he
completed a PhD at TU Delft in the Netherlands on this subject. His
thesis project was not only an academic study, but very practical: a
high-speed permanent-magnet synchronous machine (PMSM)
was built from his design and mounted as part of a flywheel in a
passenger bus in Eindhoven, where it was in active service for several years. Upon his return to South
Africa, Robert worked in teaching and research at two universities: University of Johannesburg (UJ)
and North-West University (NWU). While at NWU, he designed three more high-speed PMSMs for
industrial and research applications. He was also involved with solar, wind and hydrogen energy
systems. Next, Robert ventured into the gold mining industry by working for Gold Fields Mining
Innovations as electrical engineer, where he completed novel electromechanical and power
electronics designs for mining robots. His experience in mining robotics then led him to the South
African Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), where he worked in field robotics
software development. Since late 2014, Robert moved back into his previous field of electrical
machine design via an internal transfer to the CSIR Landward Sciences competency area. Several
high- and low-speed machines are being designed for military and civil applications (particularly the
rail industry). His current activities include electrical machine design, power electronics, drives and
power systems, control systems and PLC/SCADA applications. Robert's previous career experience
engineering, transformers, switchgear, power systems and other high-power electrical engineering,
embedded design, industrial power systems and renewable energy.

12 modules over 3 months
overview
This course concentrates on Rockwell RSLogix5000 and the platforms using this software. It is
a practical course designed to give students the tools necessary to confidently create and
program projects, focussing on design, implementation and maintenance. It commences with
an explanation of the basics of control systems, why we use them and the various practical
are also covered in detail.
The course is presented via live, interactive e-learning webinars. There will be set assignments
throughout, focussing on the practical aspects of PLCs which are necessary for true design,
configuration, implementation and maintenance to take place.
Includes 4 free
Reference Manuals Over 1400 pages of tables,
charts, figures and handy hints
valued at over US$400
You will have access to 4 of
our up-to-Date technical eBooks.
Practical Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs)
for Automation and Process Control (AU)
Industrial Network Security for SCADA, Automation,
Process Control and PLC Systems (NS)
Practical Troubleshooting and Problem Solving of
Industrial Data Communications (ID)
All required reading materials will be provided electronically in smaller, easy-to-read sections, in the online student portal
throughout the course.
Please note: Students can also purchase the technical manuals both in hard copy and electronic format
at a reduced fee.
