Learn Boolean values, scan-cycle concepts, normally open and normally closed instructions, AND logic and OR logic.
Industrial Automation
PLC Programming Course for Beginners
Build a strong PLC foundation by understanding the information flow behind automated machines: inputs, program decisions and output commands. The course starts with basic Boolean logic and grows toward practical ladder programming and simulation.
PLC lessons
Build on the first lesson by mapping symbolic tags to real PLC addresses and testing a simple program.
What this course will cover
- PLC inputs, outputs and Boolean conditions
- Ladder logic contacts, coils and networks
- Tags, addresses and I/O mapping
- Timers, counters, latches and interlocks
- Simulation and troubleshooting
- Siemens S7-1200 concepts and practical examples
Electrical wiring, voltage levels and safety requirements depend on the exact hardware. Course examples separate software logic from physical wiring so each can be understood correctly.
