What you will 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, and the inner workings of a standard HMI (Human-Machine Interface).
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, and (on at least an introductory level) PID control loops.
Students will develop an understanding of alarm and notification programming, and the relevant considerations to safety and operator usability.
Students will be introduced to HMI development and given a general understanding of how an HMI program works.
