Description

This PLC Automation Course provides a comprehensive introduction to Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), essential for industrial automation. In Month 1, students will learn the fundamentals of PLCs, including PLC history, architecture, block diagrams, and applications. The course covers essential hardware components, such as input/output (I/O) modules, relays, and switches. It introduces the types of digital and analog signals, as well as basic control devices like motors and solenoid valves. Students will explore timers, counters, and logic instructions used in real-world automation systems. In Month 2, the focus shifts to PLC programming languages, including Ladder Diagrams (LD), Instruction Lists, and Function Block Diagrams (FBD). Students will master sequencing, interlocking, latching, and timer/counter programming, applying these skills to real PLC interfacing with control devices. The course emphasizes both basic and advanced PLC instructions, providing hands-on practice to design and troubleshoot automation systems. By the end of the course, students will be equipped with industry-relevant skills to work with PLC programming, control devices, and automation systems, making them valuable assets in fields like manufacturing, energy, and industrial control.
