Introduction

Why Choose this Online Training Course?

This practical online training course has been designed as a high impact, short duration PLC
programming workshop. It is there for individuals who either with to brush up on or else learn
PLC programming techniques from scratch. The workshop is mostly practical in nature, although
theoretical aspects will be covered as and when necessary.

Many PLC programming languages have evolved over the years, but five have been covered in
the IEC 61131-3 standard. This workshop delves into each of the languages, using practical
examples to see how the language can fit in, in the real world.

The workshop is synchronous, fully interactive, and questions will be answered, as they get
asked.

This online training course will feature:

● Understanding where the PLC fits in, in the modern industry

● Interpreting real-world problems, and how to come up with a programming solution
● Program composition
● Program creation
● Program testing and documentation

Training Objectives
What are the Goals?

By the end of this online training course, participants will be able to:

● Understand where the PLC fits in to the greater scheme of things

● Program, using Ladder Diagram (LD)
● Program, using Function Block Diagram (FBD)
● Program, using Instruction List (IL)
● Program, using Structured Text (ST)
● Program using Sequential Function Chart (SFC)

Training Methods
