I come from a background in Cobol programming (5 years) and have year of Uni physics & maths.
So far the advice I have received has led me to the following list of required skills:
1. PLC ladder logic programming
2. Electronics/electricity basics
3. MS server/networking
4. Wireless networking/communications?
I am intending to do a year diploma Electronics and communications that includes PLC programming and scada.
I am quite confused though as there are so many vendors, hardware, software and industries/specializations.
Ideally id like to work in oil/gas/mining as I consider being outside and traveling to remote places as important.
Obviously I'm looking for something well paid, mobile (international skill) and that has job security eg wont be obsolete soon.
Brands that have been recommended are Scitech, contrologix, allen bradley, Siemens, modbus etc, ethernetIP
Are these appropriate to start with?
Any advice much appreciated
