About Course
The PLC Programming and Automation course is designed to introduce students to the concepts and practices involved in programming and operating Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), which are integral to industrial automation. The course covers the basics of PLC hardware and software, programming languages, and how PLCs are used to control machinery and processes in industries like manufacturing, energy, and automotive.
Students will learn how to design, program, and troubleshoot PLC-based systems used for automating tasks such as controlling production lines, managing robotic systems, and monitoring industrial processes. The course also covers the integration of PLCs with other automation systems like SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) and HMI (Human-Machine Interface).
