The training programme focused primarily on practical skills applicable in industrial automation. Students worked on programming Siemens PLCs in the TIA Portal environment, electric drives, industrial networks and IO-Link technology. The training also included setting up servo drives and their functions. There was no shortage of practical advice and insights from experts, which the students can put to use not only in the competition, but also in their further studies and future professional careers.
The five days in Ostrava not only provided the students with new specialist knowledge and the opportunity to hone their practical skills, but also valuable experience within the Festo organisation. Alongside the demanding programme, they also found time to explore Ostrava, its history and places of interest.
We hope that Filip and Lukáš will make the most of the experience they have gained in their further preparations and, above all, at the EuroSkills competition itself.
