Description
This extensive course introduces the foundational concepts of industrial automation using Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), the cornerstone of modern automated systems. Tailored for engineers, technicians, and students, this course explains how PLCs are used to control machinery and processes in industries ranging from automotive and packaging to water treatment and energy. You’ll begin by understanding the hardware architecture of PLCs, including input/output modules, power supplies, and communication ports. As you progress, you’ll write and troubleshoot ladder logic programs, simulate real-time control processes, and connect sensors and actuators. The course places strong emphasis on hands-on exercises and practical scenarios such as conveyor systems, traffic lights, and temperature regulation. Advanced topics such as Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs), networking, and SCADA integration are also introduced. Learners will gain insights into how automation boosts productivity, reduces errors, and ensures safety in high-demand environments. By course end, you’ll be capable of developing, testing, and deploying PLC programs in industrial settings, making this course a vital stepping stone into automation engineering.
