Advanced PLC covers high-level industrial automation, focusing on sophisticated, state-based programming, advanced hardware (e.g., Allen-Bradley/RSLogix 5000), and integration with SCADA/DCS systems for complex control tasks. It emphasizes enhancing reliability, troubleshooting efficiency, and using advanced techniques like Function Block Diagrams (FBD) and Structured Text (ST).  Key aspects of advanced PLC reviews and training include: Programming Techniques: Moving beyond basic ladder logic to state-based, tag-based programming, and structured text.
