Course Description

This course will allow anyone to learn the basics on how to program a PLC.
It is not necessary to have any previous experience because all the concepts will be clearly explained from the basics.
We will use CoDeSys, a development environment to write our PLC programs and we will use its simulation functionality to interact with processes and applications without the actual need of a real PLC.
At the end of the course you will be able to write your PLC applications and software and to apply automation programming patterns to write quality code.
This knowledge will allow you to pursue different careers in the industrial automation field.
Who this course is for:
Anyone who has the desire to learn how to develop software for PLC or who wants to pursue a career in industrial automation.

This course was a great intro to CoDeSys. Marco is a great instructor and is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to PLC programming in multiple languages. I was worried prior to taking the course that I may have an issue with Marco's accent or having a language barrier but that wasn't the case at all. If Marco didn't have an accent I would assume English was his first language. The only reason I didn't give 5/5 stars was because he didn't go over the graphical features of CoDeSys, even though it was a big portion of the course. Overall, great course!

Gives in-depth know-how of codesys. Very useful and informative course, a must if trying to learn ST language and to see the differences between the different types of languages on a PLC.

By Paul Chapman on 10/18/2020

Presenters knowledge is very good. This is an informative course for someone new to Codesys

This is very good course to study "STRUCTURED TEXT".
I would like to know how to write simulation Visu_Prg for simulation. Please make the course!

wietne wprowadzenie do CoDeSys. Kurs pokazuje podstawowe umiejtnoci w stopniu wystarczajcym do rozpoczcia samodzielnego programowania. Lektor mwi wyranie i nie ma problemu ze zrozumieniem angielskiego.
