Course Description

PLC- Programmable Logic Controller 

You will learn here about PLC, the Block diagram of PLC and its components, Some programming languages in PLC, Basic Programming instructions, Timers, Counters, Comparators, Mathematical functions, and some programming practice examples from the actual world to understand more. 

After completion of this program, you must learn PLC and start PLC programming in ladder language smoothly.

We have included a good practice program to start with and at the next level, we also provided some industrial examples to read, learn and program the same.

The candidate will start from scratch and after completion, he/she will be in a good level in PLC Automation 

we will recommend the course from Entry level engineers to the maintenance team of the industry.

PLC is capable of doing all monitoring and control functions used to perform in the process and control industry.

In comparison to the conventional relay circuit, PLC almost eliminated the heavy hardwiring problem when compared to relay circuits. In addition to the hardwiring problem, PLC is having more advantages over conventional relay-based systems.

Since we mentioned PLC as an Industrial Computer system, it is also having a CPU which is the brain of this advanced control system. But comparing with normal desktop computers, we have more features in PLC.
