This test was designed in 2006 with 50 items in response to many requests by maintenance
managers for a measure of knowledge and skills in repair and maintenance using Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). This test was revised in 2016 by an instructor at a technical college and an additional category (Relays and Controls) was added with 10 items. A number of other items were revised as well.
This test now has 60 items.
