PLC Fundamentals and Automaton

What you'll learn

·         By the end of this course, you will be able to create a PLC program from scratch.

·         The primary and overall objective of this course is to give a novice an understanding of PLC programming, ladder logic, 

·         Students will learn the difference between digital and analog signals and how to bring them into a PLC, process them, and send them back out.

·         Students will be familiarized enough with a sufficient variety of ladder logic instructions to create a complete PLC program from scratch.

·         Students will explore basic, standard controls techniques for things like HOA control, level control, pump control, 

·         Students will develop an understanding of alarm and notification programming, and the relevant considerations to safety and operator usability.
