Course Description

Discover the world of Programmable Logic Controllers through this comprehensive PLC Training Series Step by Step by IT and Automation Academy. This free online course is designed for professionals and aspiring electricians who want to deepen their understanding of PLCs, a cornerstone in automation technology. Embark on a learning journey that demystifies the complexities of PLCs with an easy-to-follow structure.

Begin with the basics as you explore what exactly a PLC is and how it differs from traditional contactor and relay systems. As you progress, delve into the nitty-gritty details of PLC hardware components and gain clarity on PLC CPU indications and errors.

Venture further into the course, learning about the PLC memory map, and get hands-on experience writing your very first PLC program. With each subsequent lecture, you'll tackle increasingly complex topics such as AND logic, a practical garage door PLC project executed over several lectures, and defining interlocks within PLC systems.

The course doesn't just stop at theory; it provides practical applications and examples with projects like the oil tank level control and parking lot automation for beginners. You'll also learn the intricacies of PLC timer programming, data types, and counters.

Become proficient in handling analog signal scaling concepts, reinforced with practical programming using FC105, and clearly understand the differences between Function and Function Block in PLC programming. Also, embark on controlling motor directions in a two-way setup using Function Block with S7 300 Siemens PLC.

Equip yourself with the knowledge to tackle real-world automation challenges with confidence. This course offers a thorough introduction and detailed insights into PLC systems and their applications, ensuring you have the expertise required for professional growth in the automation field.
