PLC Application

This course is designed for those who have completed the PLC Programming Introduction course or understand PLCs and want to learn about PLC software and PLC hardware, and the communications between PLC software and hardware. The course includes configuring PLC programming software, PLC emulator parameters, and communication drivers to connect virtually to a PLC and monitor the status. Writing, testing, and debugging PLC ladder programs from a specification to check and test the configuration. PLC instructions used include bit, off delay, down counter, shift, integer. Each project uses a process description to develop a PLC ladder program solution. This is the same method used in industry to write PLC programs to a customer specification. Assessments are based upon the relevant performance and skills requirements described in the UEE Electrotechnology training package. Completion of this course will prepare you for the next course in the series PLC Programming Essentials.
