Course Overview
PLC Programming using ladder logic in TIA Portal and PLC SIM simulator
No prior knowledge needed
After completing this course you will be able to create your own PLC program from start to end
*** You are welcome to check/follow my Facebook page - the link is in my instructor profile ***
No software needed if you just want to watch and listen to what I do. You will still gain some knowledge from this course.
But If you really want to get the best out of this comprehensive course you might want to download free software from Siemens website and follow my steps. That way you will absorb about 70-80% of what I teach.
If you want to go even further then complete the tasks that I will give you. These tasks are variation of tasks that I will cover in this course. I guarantee that you will be able to start programming PLCs independently after completing this course.
You will learn the basics of instrumentation such as transmitters and the difference between voltage and current signal
you will be introduced to ladder logic programming language where we will go through all the important functions
you will be familiarised with the Siemens PLC hardware and Digital input and output cards, as well as Analog input and output cards and which one to choose
we will create several real life example codes step by step
everything that we create together will be simulated with PLCSIM
you will differentiate between data types and how and when to use them
course will also include some tips and tricks for intermediate students such as common rules and styles to programming PLCs, what to avoid, and how to structure your code
course will also add tips on how to choose PLC for your specific project to optimise costs and performance

The course was really good, with good and detailed explanation. I really appreciate the fact that it includes explanation about topics outside programming but related to automation . I didn't realize that the course doesn't cover HMI programing before I started it. It was also missing some explanation about Function blocks and OB's. It would be useful to add some other instructions and notes on other programming languages different than ladder.
