Why take this course?
🎓 Course Title: Applied Logic (Level 2)
Headline: Dive Into the Real World of PLC Programming with Intermediate Logic Challenges!
Welcome to the Trenches of PLC Programming! As a PLC programmer, you're often the lone warrior, facing the challenge of making complex systems work seamlessly. The only voice your client or boss wants to hear is one of success and efficiency. This course, available exclusively for $10 on PLC Dojo, prepares you for this very reality. It's not just another theory-heavy class; it's the battleground where you'll apply your skills to conquer real-world problems.
About the Course:
🚀 Getting Started: We don't waste time with introductions here. This course is designed to hit the ground running, leveraging the theoretical knowledge from Paul Lynn's previous course, "PLC Programming from Scratch," and building upon it with new techniques and applications to solve everyday industrial problems.
🛠️ Tools of the Trade: Utilizing Rockwell's RSLogix 500 software suite (including RSLinx and RSLogix 500 Emulate), you'll be given specifications for various programs and expected to create each one from scratch. Paul will guide you through his problem-solving process step by step, culminating in running each project on the emulator and debugging as needed.
👷♂️ Practical Approach: This is a 100% practical course. It assumes you have the foundational theory covered from the previous course and dives deep into new material without any refreshers. You'll encounter new instructions, which will be thoroughly explained. Remember, this is an intermediate-level course with a prerequisite.
The Struggle is Real:
🌊 Embrace the Challenge: This course is designed to make you struggle, think critically, and learn the ins and outs of PLC programming through hands-on experience. Unlike the supportive environment of the first course, this one is a boot camp—a sink-or-swim scenario where you'll face challenges head-on.
💡 Learning Outcome: By the end of this course, you won't just know how to program; you'll be a PROGRAMMER, equipped with the skills to tackle complex problems independently.
The Journey Through PLC Mastery:
-
PLC Fundamentals (Level 1): This is where it all begins. You'll learn the basics of ladder logic and how to use the software to create your own programs.
-
Applied Logic (Level 2): Here, you apply what you've learned by solving progressively complex problems on your own. Paul walks you through his solutions as well.
-
Process Visualization (Level 3): Gain experience with five different HMI/SCADA environments and create complete visualization projects.
-
IEC Paradigms (Level 4): For the advanced programmer, this course teaches you all five IEC programming languages plus an additional one, ensuring you're well-versed in the industry standards.
-
TIA Portal Master Project (Level 5): The ultimate test of your skills, this project involves programming an entire power plant using all five PLC programming languages in parallel, with a full HMI interface. It's the pinnacle of PLC mastery that will make you stand out in any interview!
