Course Description: 

This PLC training seminar is a PLC course for beginners. Basic PLC theory of operation and basic functions are covered in detail. The seminar will begin with hands-on construction of a simple relay logic control system. Students will connect a 120 volt/24 volt control power transformer and output the 24 volts to a DC rectifier to control 24 volt DC relays. A voltage divider and a potentiometer will be used by the student, to produced an analog 0-10 VDC control signal. Students will analyze the circuit and will draw a ladder logic drawing. PLC's will be introduced and theory of operation and basic programming will be examined. PLC programming techniques will be explored in-depth with hands-on programming. Each student will replace his or her relay logic control system with a PLC and will be assigned the task of programming their PLC to achieve the operations required. PLC programming will include digital inputs and outputs and analog inputs and outputs including 0-10VDC and 4 – 20 milliamp control.

During the course each student will assemble and program a complete PLC system and using PLC modules and laptop computers. Students may bring their own laptop for use in the class.
