Course Description

In this class, you will learn absolutely everything necessary to land a job as an entry level PLC technician (engineer, etc.).

We will cover basic topics such as what a PLC is used for, how it is able to receive and process Inputs &Outputs. We will take a much deeper dive with hands on labs and practice sessions during which Iwill give you specific real world scenarios to work with and give you tips and common pitfalls. These lessons are designed to strengthen your knowledge of PLCs and give you an edge during interviews.

At the end of each section, you will face a quiz which will allow you to test yourself on the material you have learned before moving to the next section. As some one who has administered interviews to PLC technicians, these questions are crucial in making sure that you've understood the material presented.

What are the requirements for the class?

You don't need any hardware or software to follow the lectures, however, it is highly recommended to get some practice before going into an interview. If that's not possible, I would advise spending some time working with an emulator and browsing through data sheets and manuals which will be presented to you in the course.

What can I expect from this class?

The main objective of this course is to get you job-ready by the time you finish the last lecture.
You will have a good understanding of what a PLC does, how it does it as well as what the outcomes of those actions are.
You will be comfortable creating basic ladder logic programs and troubleshoot complex existing ones.
You will be able to create simple Human Machine Interface (HMI) screens and controlling them via a PLC.
You will have a good understanding of manufacturing systems as a whole.

What is the target audience for the class?

Electrical Engineers looking for a crash course on PLCs.
Electrical Technicians / Electricians looking to expand their knowledge into controls.
Software Engineers who are seeking to learn about controlling hardware.
Manufacturing Operators looking to progress in their career.
Anyone interested in how manufacturing processes are executed.
Who this course is for:
Electrical EngineersElectriciansTechniciansAnyone interested in learning how an industrial process works

Audio could be better. Sometimes is higher or lower within videos. Although, it is listenable.

i am a fresher. new to plc. so few topics i cannot grasp so easily . but overall the topic is great

By Paul Newton on 11/1/2020

So far I'm really excited about this course and looking forward to learning all about plc's

This course covers a variety of topics and prepares you to program an Allen Bradley PLC, create an HMI and even integrate a Cognex Vision system. There are many examples and if you follow along, you could go from not knowing anything about PLCs to making your first program.

Its an excellant opporunity to learn this Course thanks to creator

Esperava um pouco mais de detalhes.

By Kenneth Fugleberg Jensen on 10/18/2020

I have a M.sc degree in energy, where we learned a little about the PLC and SCADA, and how it was connected to the real world. But that was about it, expect for a little hand on experience with a Siemens PLC block. After end education, i felt in the job description, that i needed more experience with the field of plc to get a job. Thats why, i am taking this course and so far, it is very understandable and have good examples of why the PLC is important.

By Raul Alcantara on 9/27/2020

So far yes, it's a good match. I love how he explains the history of PLC's and how it has evolutioned to where it is now.

By Jamey on 9/11/2020

For someone who had minimal experience with anything to do with PLCs, I feel I have learnt so much.
