From a detailed introduction to PLCs to an exploration of internal architecture, terminology and numbering systems, the curriculum covers fundamental aspects of hardware, installation, and hands-on programming in Ladder language. Participants gain skills in interlocks, timers and arithmetic functions culminating in a hands-on project that consolidates their understanding and skills in PLC programming.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"subtitle\">At the end of the course you will able to:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Understand the internal architecture of PLCs and their associated terminology<\/li>\n<li>Identify and work with diferent types of controllers and I\/O modules.<\/li>\n<li>Apply wiring principles in PLC installation and connection.<\/li>\n<li>Become familiar with memory mapping and physical I\/O addressing.<\/li>\n<li>Program in Ladder language, from latching to linear and sequential programming.<\/li>\n<li>Apply concepts of digital logic, timers and arithmetic functions in PLC programming.<\/li>\n<li>Develop a final project that demonstrates their ability to apply the fundamentals of PLC programming in practical<\/li>\n<li>industry situations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 class=\"subtitle\">Main topics<\/h4>\n<ul id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1725823243093_1430\">\n<li>Introduction to PLCs\n<ul>\n<li>Definition and types of PLC.<\/li>\n<li>Internal architecture<\/li>\n<li>Basic concepts and terminology<\/li>\n<li>Numbering systems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Introduction to hardwareController\n<ul>\n<li>I\/O modules<\/li>\n<li>Special modules<\/li>\n<li>Communication modules<\/li>\n<li>Power supply selection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Installation and connection\n<ul>\n<li>General wiring principles<\/li>\n<li>Internal circuit of input module<\/li>\n<li>NPN and PNP sensors<\/li>\n<li>Principle of input wiring.<\/li>\n<li>Principle of output wiring.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Memory map\n<ul>\n<li>PLC memory layout<\/li>\n<li>Physical I\/O addressing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1725823243093_1429\">Introduction to programming\n<ul id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1725823243093_1428\">\n<li>Ladder language introduction<\/li>\n<li>Interlocks<\/li>\n<li>Timers<\/li>\n<li>Basic arithmetic functions<\/li>\n<li>Data movements<\/li>\n<li>Basic logic programming<\/li>\n<li>Linear and sequential programming<\/li>\n<li id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1725823243093_1427\">Final Project<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2251,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_cat":[29],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-2249","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-becomingasupplierforthemedicaldevicesindustry","8":"first","9":"instock","10":"downloadable","11":"virtual","12":"taxable","13":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smdlearning.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/2249","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/smdlearning.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/smdlearning.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smdlearning.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2249"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/smdlearning.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/2249\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2492,"href":"https:\/\/smdlearning.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/2249\/revisions\/2492"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smdlearning.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2251"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smdlearning.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2249"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smdlearning.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=2249"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smdlearning.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=2249"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
