To enroll in the
PLC Fundamentals course, students should have a basic understanding of
electrical circuits and industrial control systems. Familiarity with
programming concepts would be beneficial but not mandatory.
The PLC
Fundamentals course provides a comprehensive introduction to Programmable Logic
Controllers (PLCs) and their role in industrial automation. Students will gain
a solid understanding of the fundamental concepts, components, and programming
languages used in PLC systems. The course covers topics such as PLC hardware,
memory organization, input/output modules, timers and counters, data
manipulation, troubleshooting, and communication protocols. Through practical
exercises and case studies, students will develop the skills necessary to
design, program, and maintain PLC-based control systems.
Upon completion of
the course, students will be able to:
1.
Explain the role and advantages of PLCs in industrial
automation.
2.
Identify and describe the components of a PLC system.
3.
Write basic programs using ladder logic and other programming
languages used in PLCs.
4.
Understand the scan cycle and its different stages.
5.
Configure and interface input/output modules with sensors and
actuators.
6.
Utilize timers and counters for time-based operations and event
tracking.
7.
Perform data manipulation using mathematical, logical, and
comparison instructions.
8.
Troubleshoot common issues in PLC systems and interpret
diagnostics.
9.
Establish communication between PLCs and other devices or
systems.
10.
Apply the knowledge gained to design and maintain PLC-based
control systems effectively.
Hey there! I'm an Online Marketing tutor with over 11 years
of experience in Digital Marketing. I offer jargon-free classes to individuals
at any level, whether you're a beginner or already have some knowledge of
biddable media. I've trained members of staff to increase their knowledge and
also people who have never worked with Google, Facebook, or any other biddable
channels before.
I absolutely love education (I'm currently studying at
University myself), and I'm confident that I can deliver the courses in a way
that you'll get a lot out of the sessions. I'm passionate about passing on
knowledge because I believe that as an industry, we can create job
opportunities that are worthwhile, especially during the current financial
crisis. Let's learn together!
