What you'll learn

  • Identify the three PLC form factors and map the Siemens hardware family from LOGO! to S7-1500 to real industrial use cases
  • Explain how field devices connect to PLC input and output terminals and how physical addresses map to symbolic tags
  • Select the correct IEC 61131-3 programming language (LAD, FBD, or ST) for a given industrial control task
  • Apply the NO/NC fail-safe wiring rule correctly — identifying the inversion trap and avoiding it in software
  • Extract Conditions, Actions, Sequences, and Edge Cases from any industrial control narrative using the CASE framework
  • Name PLC variables using the ISA-95 informed data-type prefix convention and write boolean equations before writing any code
  • Explain state-based thinking as the unified mental model behind PLC programming, HMI design, and SCADA configuration
  • Use a structured AI grading prompt to evaluate TIA Portal ladder logic against professional naming and logic correctness criteria

Requirements

  • Basic electrical engineering knowledge — voltage, current, and digital signals (no advanced circuits required)
  • General computer literacy — file management and Windows usage
  • Completion of the instructor's free Industrial Automation Foundation playlist on YouTube is strongly recommended — it covers sensors, actuators, P&ID reading, and the automation pyramid which this course builds directly on
  • No prior PLC programming experience required
  • No prior TIA Portal or Siemens software experience required
  • TIA Portal software installed on a Windows PC (trial version is sufficient — installation is not covered in this course)
  • No physical hardware required — all exercises use S7-PLCSIM for simulation

Description

الكورس كامل بالعربي | Full course in Arabic

You graduated from engineering. You understand circuits, you can read a P&ID, and you know what a PLC does in theory. But the moment you open TIA Portal for the first time, everything stops.

This course closes that gap.

Industrial Automation from Zero is a practical, Arabic-language PLC programming course built for electrical and control engineers who are starting from scratch. This is Session 1 of a multi-session series that takes you from zero hands-on experience to writing, simulating, and AI-reviewing real industrial control logic.

In this session you will build a complete foundation across two structured upload blocks:

Part 1 — PLC Hardware and Programming Fundamentals
You will learn how industrial controllers are physically constructed, how Siemens classifies its hardware family from LOGO! to S7-1500, how field devices connect to PLC terminals, and how the 24VDC standard works. You will also master the five IEC 61131-3 programming languages, understand when to use LAD, FBD, and Structured Text, and solve the most common beginner wiring mistake — the NO/NC inversion trap — before it causes problems in your real projects.

Part 2 — From Understanding to Programming
You will learn how professional engineers read a control narrative and extract logic using the CASE framework (Conditions, Actions, Sequences, Edge Cases). You will master ISA-95 informed variable naming conventions, write Boolean equations on paper before touching any software, and understand state-based thinking as the mental model that unifies PLC, HMI, and SCADA development.

What makes this course different is the AI-guided learning system. Every session ship with an AI Tutor Document that guides you through take-home tasks using the Socratic method — asking you questions instead of giving you answers — and a structured grading prompt that evaluates your TIA Portal work against professional naming conventions and logic correctness criteria.

This is not a passive video course. You will build real code, simulate it in PLCSIM, and receive structured AI feedback on your work.

Who this course is for:

  • Fresh graduates and final-year students in electrical engineering, control engineering, mechatronics, or related disciplines who want a structured, practical entry point into PLC programming
  • Working engineers in instrumentation, electrical maintenance, or adjacent fields who are transitioning into automation roles and need a hands-on foundation
  • Engineers who have theoretical knowledge of automation hardware but have never written or simulated a PLC program
  • Engineers who want to learn how to use AI tools as part of their technical workflow — not just to generate code but to review, evaluate, and improve their own logic
